Affective changes during the postpartum period: Influences of genetic and experiential factors.
44
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on maternal affectivity in the postpartum period is presented, showing that multiple biological and environmental factors beyond female maternal state shape affective responses during the post partum period, and probably do so in an interactive manner.

Diagnosing postpartum depression in mothers and fathers : Whatever happened to anxiety?
Stephen Matthey,Bryanne Barnett,Pauline Howie,David J. Kavanagh +3 more
- 01 Apr 2003
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used DSM-IV criteria to determine the presence since birth of depression (major or minor), panic disorder, acute adjustment disorder with anxiety (meeting the criteria for generalised anxiety disorder except for the duration criterion), and phobia.

The Neurobiology of Postpartum Anxiety and Depression
TL;DR: There is an intricate interplay among maternal mental health, the mother-infant relationship, and the neurobiological mechanisms mediating them that needs to be the focus of future study.

Brain plasticity in pregnancy and the postpartum period: links to maternal caregiving and mental health.
TL;DR: The changes in brain structure and function that a woman undergoes during the peripartum period are reviewed, outlining associations between these neural alterations and different aspects of maternal care.
Common and divergent psychobiological mechanisms underlying maternal behaviors in non-human and human mammals
TL;DR: It is concluded that there are many similarities between non-human and human mothers in the biological and psychological factors influencing their early maternal behavior and that many of the differences are due to species-characteristic features related to the role of hormones.

Mothers, Fathers, and Others: Neural Substrates of Parental Care
TL;DR: This review considers the mechanisms that subserve parental care in mothers, fathers, and others (i.e., alloparents) and emphasizes recent discoveries and research trends with particular emphasis on neuroendocrinology, neuroplasticity, transcriptomics, and epigenetics.

Avshalom Caspi,Karen Sugden,Terrie E. Moffitt,Alan Taylor,Ian W. Craig,Hona Lee Harrington,Joseph L. McClay,Jonathan Mill,Judy Martin,Antony W. Braithwaite,Richie Poulton +10 more
TL;DR: Evidence of a gene-by-environment interaction is provided, in which an individual's response to environmental insults is moderated by his or her genetic makeup.

TL;DR: The short variant of the polymorphism reduces the transcriptional efficiency of the 5-HTT gene promoter, resulting in decreased 5HTT expression and 5HT uptake in lymphoblasts as discussed by the authors, which is the site of action of widely used uptake-inhibiting antidepressant and antianxiety drugs.

Genetic Epidemiology of Major Depression: Review and Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of relevant data from primary studies of the genetic epidemiology of major depression suggested that familial aggregation was due to additive genetic effects, with a minimal contribution of environmental effects common to siblings and substantial individual-specific environmental effects/measurement error.

Rates and risk of postpartum depression—a meta-analysis
Michael W. O'Hara,Annette Swain +1 more
TL;DR: The average prevalence rate of non-psychotic postpartum depression based on the results of a large number of studies is 13% as discussed by the authors, and the average prevalence estimates are affected by the nature of the assessment method.
