Maternal mental health impacts both on mother‘s wellbeing and child development. Research shows links between perinatal depression and altered brain development in early childhood, leading to poor outcomes such as school performance.
Fortunately, evidence-based interventions have proven effective in alleviating perinatal depressive and anxiety symptoms both in the short and long term, minimising risks in child development.
