Predictors of persistent maternal depression trajectories in early childhood: results from the EDEN mother-child cohort study in France

摘要

Background. Maternal depression in the pre- and postpartum period may set women on a course of chronic depressive symptoms. Little is known about predictors of persistently elevated depressive symptoms in mothers from pregnancy onwards. The aims of this study are to determine maternal depression trajectories from pregnancy to the child's fifth birthday and identify associated risk factors.
