TL;DR: There was some consistency for mothers and fathers in the variables that predict their postpartum adjustment, these being antenatal mood and partner relationship, but there was also evidence that adjustment to parenthood was related to different variables at different times.

TL;DR: Male youth suicide rates rose substantially over the 30 years in all Australian States, whereas female rates did not increase, and changes in method-specific suicide rates and, in particular, firearm and hanging suicide rates in rural and metropolitan areas are investigated.

TL;DR: A longitudinal study of 45 mothers and their first-born infants was conducted to identify developmentally meaningful, individual differences in children's primitive empathic responding at 12 months of age, and to determine whether differences in self-regulatory skills assessed at 4 months might underlie any differences observed as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The findings are believed to be due to ready access to firearms, the use of alcohol and drugs (particularly in firearms suicides) and increasing socioeconomic, health, and identity problems for rural youth, especially males.

TL;DR: If bipolar disorder in two large Australian pedigrees (of Irish and English extraction respectively) was linked to chromosome 11 markers c-Harvey ras, insulin and tyrosine hydroxylase, results are consistent with other recent studies indicating that bipolar disorder is not linked to chromosomal region 11p15.
