Epigenetic basis for the development of depression in children.

Clinical obstetrics and gynecology - 1 Sept 2013

Lester Barry M, Conradt Elisabeth, Marsit Carmen J

Abstract excerpt

The growing field of epigenetics and human behavior affords an unprecedented opportunity to discover molecular underpinnings of mental health disorders and pave the way for the development of preventive intervention programs. Maternal depression during pregnancy is a serious public health issue and leads to a 4-fold increase in the likelihood that the child will develop depression. We describe how mood disorders,...
