Summary: This study aimed to examine the association between symptoms and diagnoses of maternal and paternal perinatal depression and anxiety with infant development. The results showed that maternal depressive and anxiety symptoms during pregnancy were associated with poorer infant social-emotional and language development. However, research on fathers is limited.

Summary: This study finds that increasing maternal depressive symptoms during the perinatal period are associated with poorer executive function outcomes in children at the age of 4, independent of prenatal smoking, drinking, or antidepressant use. The chronicity, severity, and postpartum influences of depression may play crucial roles in determining childhood executive function outcomes.

Summary: Maternal depressive symptoms may have an impact on children's language skills, with child-directed speech as a potential pathway. However, the current research on the relationship between maternal depressive symptoms and the complexity of child-directed speech is limited and further investigation is needed.

Summary: Maternal perinatal depression has long-lasting effects on children's development, especially on intelligence quotient (IQ). This systematic review examines the effects of perinatal depression on child IQ aged 0-18 years old. The study found a relationship between limited maternal responsiveness due to postpartum depression and a decrease in full IQ scores in younger children. Male children were more sensitive to postpartum depression, resulting in a decrease in IQs compared to female children.

Summary: This study assessed how the timing of maternal perinatal depressive symptoms affects infants' socio-emotional characteristics, and found that infants of mothers who experienced both prenatal and postnatal depression had higher scores on the internalizing subscore. These findings emphasize the importance of screening for prenatal depression.

Summary: This study found that the trajectories of depressive symptoms remain stable from pregnancy to the perinatal period, contradicting the emphasis on postpartum depression in some health policy guidelines. Interventions and public health initiatives should focus on reducing depressive symptoms during pregnancy.

Summary: This paper explores the associations between maternal representations of attachment, maternal depression, parenting stress and child attachment. The study finds that maternal representation of attachment is related to the child's attachment type, and insecure maternal attachment and higher levels of parenting stress are associated with infant insecure attachment.

Summary: The review found a significant association between perinatal depression and infant cognitive development, particularly with antenatal depression. However, many studies did not adequately isolate the effects of depression in each period, and few explored complex interactions with other factors. More high-quality studies are needed in low and middle-income countries to further investigate these relationships.

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis revealed inadequate assessment of maternal depression and unreliable measures of executive function in many studies. However, there was a small yet statistically significant relationship between perinatal depression and child executive function, supporting the hypothesis that maternal depression during the perinatal period impacts offspring's executive function. Future studies should focus on robust measurement of depression and executive function, and consider the chronicity of maternal depression and developmental context for meaningful results.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of early postnatal maternal anxiety/co-dependence, and prenatal and early-postnatal depression and dysregulated mood on amygdala volume and morphology in young adulthood using data from a neuroimaging follow-up of a prenatal birth-cohort. The study found that greater maternal anxiety/co-dependence after birth was significantly associated with lower volume and non-significantly associated with surface area of the amygdala in typically developing young adults, while prenatal maternal depression and mood dysregulation in the early postnatal period was not associated with any volumetric or morphological changes in the amygdala in young adulthood.

Summary: Given the global prevalence of mental disorders, it is important to understand how healthcare professionals in low-resource and African contexts communicate with children of parents with mental illnesses. This study identified obstacles and facilitators in communication, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive resources and guidelines, as well as systemic and organizational changes to support professionals in facilitating conversations with patients and their children.

Summary: Depression is a serious mental health disorder, and some patients with depression fail to respond to antidepressant treatment, known as treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) aim to improve diagnosis and treatment, but there is significant variability in the definitions and recommendations for TRD among high-quality CPGs.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of discontinuing maintenance antidepressant treatment on self-referential recall and its association with the risk of relapse. The results showed that discontinuation did not affect self-referential recall at 12 and 52 weeks, and there was no association between recall and later relapse at baseline or 12 weeks.

Summary: Emotional/behaviour problems and exposure to stressful life events are associated with new onset of urinary incontinence (UI) in children who have attained bladder control. Separation anxiety symptoms are strongly linked to new-onset UI, and girls experiencing more stressful life events are at higher risk of UI.

Summary: This study examined the association between continence problems and mental health outcomes in young people and found that young people with incontinence/lower urinary tract symptoms are at an increased risk of mental health problems. These problems include generalized anxiety disorder, common mental disorders, depression, self-harm thoughts, and disordered eating.

Summary: It is unclear which eGFR equation is best for predicting increased CVD risk and if integrating multiple kidney function markers can improve prediction. Structural equation modeling was used to compare different kidney function indexes and eGFR equations in predicting 10-year incident CVD risk. A SEM-based estimate of latent kidney function showed better predictive performance than other models and eGFR formulas, but eGFRcys still had preferable performance for incident CVD risk prediction.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the quality of clinical practice guidelines for the pharmacological treatment of depression and explore factors associated with higher quality. The results showed that 27% of the guidelines were classified as high quality, with 11.1% having high-quality recommendations. Factors associated with higher quality included handling of conflicts of interest, multiprofessional teams, and type of institution.

Summary: Effective reciprocal communication is crucial for social relationships and peer social play is an important context for communication skill development. The study explores how speakers coordinate ideas in peer social play to build a shared play experience. The results show that connectedness is influenced by dyadic effects rather than individual socio-cognitive measures.
