Research: A Depressed, Pregnant Mom Doesn't Bode Well For Child's Mental Health

Children born to mothers who had depression during or after pregnancy are at significantly higher risk of depression themselves later in life.

In fact, UPI reports a new analysis says such children are nearly twice as likely as others to develop the disorder as teens or adults.

Research suggests up to 20% of women suffer from depression during pregnancy, known as perinatal depression.
