Effect of Antenatal Depression on Outcomes of PTB, LBW, and IUGR
Mental disorders and adverse fetal outcomes
Risk of LBW associated with antenatal depression sig larger in developing
countries (RR=2.05; 95% confidence interval, 1.43–2.93) compared with US
(RR=1.10; 95% confidence interval, 1.01–1.21) or European social democracies
(RR=1.16; 95% confidence interval, 0.92–1.47).
Meta-analysis in 1996 of OCs
Recent evidence from cohort studies:
• pregnancy complications incl gestational hypertension, placental
abruption, pre-eclampsia,
• preterm birth
• small for gestational age infants
• low APGAR scores in infants

In utero environment associated with mental disorders –
potential risk factors and targets for intervention
• Psychiatric morbidity
• Other modifiable risk factors associated with mental
disorders
o medication
o smoking
o substance misuse
o nutritional deficiencies

Tertiary clinical sample - 22% with bipolar disorder relapse during pregnancy
Bipolar disorders greater risk than depression
Incidence rate ratio=4.85 (95% CI=3.32–7.23)
Impact of pregnancy on psychosis Page 8
Taylor et al In Prep; Viguera et al Am J Psychiatry 2011
Pregnant women in contact with SLAM
secondary mental health services
(CRIS 2007-11):
190 bipolar disorder – 15% relapsed in
pregnancy
236 non-affective psychosis – 26%
relapsed in pregnancy
Kaplan-Meier Survival Functions for Pregnant Patients With Bipolar Disorder Who Maintained or Discontinued Treatment
Viguera et al, Am J Psychiatry 2007
Mood stabilizer discontinuation ass with recurrence of BPD episode (RR 2) and shorter time to recurrence (adj HR 2.5)
Abrupt discontinuation vs gradual discontinuation
(RR=1.4)
Other predictors of relapse include bipolar II disorder
diagnosis, earlier onset,
more recurrences/year,
recent illness, use of
antidepressants, use of
anticonvulsants versus
lithium
CRIS study will investigate predictors of
relapse for bipolar disorder & schizophrenia
Study in community patients in antenatal care did not find antidepressants
reduced risk of depression (adj HR 0.88 [0.51—1.50] (Yonkers et al 2012)
Risk of relapse highest in women with h/o >4 depressive epsiodes
Risk of relapse if discontinue prophylactic medication Page 10

Mental disorders and smoking in pregnancy
• Leading preventable cause of fetal/infant morbidity & mortality in UK
• Pregnant women with mental disorders are more likely to smoke
• Cochrane SR (72 RCTs; n>25,000): Smoking cessation programmes in pregnancy reduce the proportion continuing smoke, improve birth outcomes
• Women with mental disorders may be less likely to be supported to stop smoking, but are likely to need intensive smoking cessation programmes
Nested qualitative study of 27 women – health professionals & women prioritised mental health over smoking
Some women thought stress may be worse for baby than smoking
“I think there are more harmful things than smoking. Like…..to take some medicaments or
even alcohol”.
Women reported health professionals also prioritised mental health over smoking
“don’t give up…we don’t want you getting anxiety or stressed”
Limited evidence on substance misuse
Howard et al BJOG 2013; Lumley et al 2009
One third of US women are overweight (BMI 25-30kg/m2) or obese (BMI >
30 kg/m2) when they become pregnant, with rising prevalence
UK - 16% women were obese at the start of pregnancy in 2004, 9.9% in
1990.
Obesity in pregnancy associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes incl
congenital neurological defects, childhood obesity, childhood ADHD
Systematic reviews:
• obesity associated with all categories of perinatal mental disorders
(50% pregnant women with psychosis on APs - overweight/ obese;
gestational diabetes)
• SMI child-bearing aged women more likely to have low folate and
B12; little research into other nutritional deficiencies
Some studies showing perinatal depression is associated with sub-
optimal diet

• Systematic review: high prevalence and increased odds (2-3) of
domestic violence among pregnant women across all diagnoses
studied
• CRIS SLAM data – 19% experienced domestic violence in pregnancy
• Identification of domestic violence by clinicians occurs in 10-30% of
cases
• Cochrane review– preliminary evidence on effectiveness of DV
interventions in pregnancy including advocacy
• Multi-faceted training and linked advocacy programmes effective in
improving identification and referral rates in primary care
• Pilot programme in secondary mental health care reduces abuse and
improves quality of life and social inclusion
• NICE (2014) guidance on identification and care pathways

Pregnant women with SMI under SLAM care 2007-11
Women with mental disorders are at risk of adverse
pregnancy, and longer term child, outcomes
Targeting of modifiable risk factors - ideally pre-conception
and during pregnancy - including optimal medication,
should improve outcomes for mother and child
Better understanding of how to optimise mental health and
associated physical health risks with tailored
interventions in the perinatal period is needed
