HealthDay (9/27, Norton) reports, “When mothers suffer depression during or after pregnancy, their kids may be at heightened risk, too – all the way into young adulthood, a new study suggests.” Researchers followed more than 5,000 children until age 24 and found “those whose moms had depression during or after pregnancy tended to report more depression symptoms themselves.” Depression was reported most “among young adults whose mothers had suffered depression both during and after pregnancy.” The study was published in the British Journal of Psychiatry.
