Summary: The study found that social support, particularly from partners, may serve as a strong protective factor against antenatal depressive symptoms. Strengthening support to pregnant women, especially from partners, could be an effective strategy for reducing the incidence or severity of maternal mental health problems. Further research is needed to determine if support from broader social networks can compensate for absence or lack of support from partners.

Summary: This study explored the relationship between social support, resilience, and depressive symptoms in ovarian cancer patients. The results showed that social support was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms and explained a significant amount of the variance. Additionally, resilience was also negatively associated with depressive symptoms and mediated the relationship between social support and depressive symptoms to some extent.

Summary: This study investigates the prevalence of depressive symptoms in older adults and the factors influencing it, including neuroticism, in China. The results show that neuroticism has a direct predictive effect on depressive symptoms in older adults, and overall family health and perceived social support partially mediate the relationship between neuroticism and depressive symptoms. Furthermore, family health and social support can prevent depressive symptoms in older adults with high neuroticism.

Summary: This study explored the relationship between changes in pregnancy-related anxiety and depressive symptoms and preterm birth among Pakistani women, finding that perceived stress may moderate the effect of depressive symptoms on preterm birth. The study also suggested that concerns about fetal health may have a predictive value for preterm birth. Further research is needed to validate these findings and understand the complex interplay between these variables.

Summary: This study identified 79 significant differential metabolites between antenatal depression and non-antenatal depression, mainly influencing amino acid metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism. The simplified biomarker panel consisting of betaine, PC (16:0/16:0), and succinic acid showed excellent diagnostic performance in discriminating antenatal depression and non-antenatal depression.
