TL;DR: Antenatal depressive symptoms appear to be as common as postnatal depressive symptoms and previous depression, current depression/anxiety, and low partner support are found to be key antenatal risk factors for postnatal depression in this large prospective cohort, consistent with existing meta-analytic surveys.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized controlled trial of psychological interventions for postnatal depression
TL;DR: For those women with PND, psychological intervention is a better option than routine care, leading to clinically significant reduction of symptoms, and counselling may be as effective as group cognitive behaviour therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mediating role of maternal responsiveness in some longer term effects of postnatal depression on infant development
TL;DR: The data concur with previous work and provide empirical support for the theoretical prediction that early disturbances of the mother–infant interaction will mediate some developmental deficits in the children of depressed mothers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jeannette Milgrom,Carol A. Newnham,Peter J. Anderson,Lex W. Doyle,Alan W. Gemmill,Katherine J Lee,Rod W. Hunt,Merilyn Bear,Terrie E. Inder +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, sensitivity training for parents in the NICU is associated with improved cerebral white matter micro-structural development in preterm infants, which may negatively impact early brain development and subsequent neurobehavioral outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards parenthood: An antenatal intervention to reduce depression, anxiety and parenting difficulties
TL;DR: The findings provide support for the effectiveness of the Towards Parenthood intervention both as a preparation for parenthood program and in reducing symptoms of postnatal depression/anxiety.
