Mothers experiencing depression have considerable challenges across multiple parenting domains, according to a global systematic review published in the Harvard Review of Psychiatry.Maternal depression is defined as major depressive disorder (MDD) that occurs during pregnancy or emerges within four to 30 weeks after birth.
The team analyzed the brains of 30 patients suffering from acute depression. After therapy, most of them showed changes in areas responsible for processing emotions. The observed effects are similar to those already known from studies on medication.
Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event that can manifest in a range of emotional and physical symptoms, with the potential to develop into a mental health condition like PTSD if symptoms persist.
Anxiety is a common emotion involving fear, tension, or worry in response to real or perceived threats. It triggers the body’s stress response, causing physical changes like an increased heart rate.
Anxiety is more than just short-term stress; it is a persistent feeling of worry that can disrupt daily life, and if it becomes chronic, it may indicate an anxiety disorder.
