The impact of postpartum depression and bonding impairment on child development at 12 to 15 months after delivery
2021, Journal of Affective Disorders ReportsCitation Excerpt :It seems that more important than depression itself in influencing the child's outcome are the chronic stressful situations and the quality of maternal interactive behavior (Hammen et al., 1987). In addition, parent–child interaction is compromised in the presence of a severe or chronic factor (Frankel and Harmon, 1996). A review of the timing and chronicity of maternal depression on children's risk for cognitive and language delay during early childhood concluded that maternal depressive symptoms, whether during the antenatal or the postnatal period, increased the likelihood of children's developmental problems.
A developmental decline in the learning-promoting effects of infant-directed speech for infants of mothers with chronically elevated symptoms of depression
2012, Infant Behavior and DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :This developmental decline in responding to female IDS was not attributable simply to age or to lower developmental or ecological validity of the conditioned-attention paradigm for older infants, because 12-month-old infants of mothers with continuously non-elevated BDI-II scores exhibited significant learning. A number of prior studies indicated that deficits in infant development tied to caregiver depression are often more severe or occur only in cases of chronic depression (Campbell & Cohn, 1997; Campbell, Cohn, & Meyers, 1995; Cornish et al., 2005; Diego, Field, & Hernandez-Reif, 2005; Frankel & Harmon, 1996; NICHD ECCRN, 1999). Two other pieces of evidence suggest an experience-based change in infant responding tied to relatively longer durations of maternal depression.
