Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Maternal depression across the postbirth period has long-term negative consequences for infant development. Little is known of the neurobiological underpinnings, but they could involve oxytocin, a neuropeptide that is dysfunctional in depression and is implicated in birth and parenting. METHOD: The authors recruited a community cohort of women with high or low depression scores 2 days after childbirth...
