Maternal postnatal depression

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maternal postnatal depression tends to be found in individuals with a history of depression. Studies have shown that a history of depression increases the risk of developing postnatal depression. Options A and D are incorrect because postnatal depression is not found in about 50 percent of first-time moms and does not necessarily strengthen the infant-maternal attachment. Option B is incorrect because postnatal depression can have significant long-term effects on a child's development, such as emotional and behavioral problems.
