The results of new research from the University of California show that mothers who suffer from various psychological problems, including anxiety, stress, or depression during pregnancy, affect the child’s behavior from childhood until adolescence.
Researcher Erin Tong also analyzed data for 55 studies in which more than 45,000 mothers and children participated, and the results were revealed on Wednesday evening, November 15, in the Journal of the American Psychological Association. In all studies, the researcher relied on measuring the psychological state of pregnant women, and then She later measured their children’s behavioral signs, often attention deficit, hyperactivity or increased aggression, according to 24.
“Our research suggests that psychological distress during pregnancy has a small but persistent effect on children’s risk of aggressive and reckless behaviors,” Tong said.
She added: “These findings add to evidence suggesting that providing widespread mental health care and support during pregnancy may be a crucial step to help prevent child behavior problems.”
The research found that the effect of psychological distress during pregnancy was true for children of both sexes.
It was observed in early childhood (ages 2 to 5), middle childhood (ages 6 to 12), and adolescence (ages 13 to 18), although the effect was strongest in early childhood.
The findings are consistent with theories suggesting that exposure to stress hormones in the womb can affect babies’ brain development.
