Brannigan R, et al. - Researchers examined associations between exposure to subjective maternal stress during pregnancy and subsequent diagnosis of psychiatric disorders in offspring, using the Helsinki Longitudinal Temperament Cohort, a prospective birth cohort of individuals born between 1 July 1975 and 30 June 1976 in Helsinki, Finland. They observed significantly greater odds of developing a psychiatric disorder particularly a mood disorder among individuals whose mothers reported stress during pregnancy. This finding emphasizes the significance of supporting the mental health and emotional well-being of women during pregnancy.
