Neurobiological and Behavioral Underpinnings of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs): A Selective Narrative Review.
Journal of clinical medicine(2024)
摘要
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) profoundly impact maternal and infant health, affecting women worldwide during pregnancy and postpartum. This review synthesizes current research on the neurobiological effects of PMADs, particularly their influence on brain structure, function, and corresponding cognitive, behavioral, and mental health outcomes in mothers. A literature search across PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar yielded studies utilizing neuroimaging (MRI, fMRI) and cognitive assessments to explore brain changes in PMADs. The key findings indicate significant neurobiological alterations in PMADs, such as glutamatergic dysfunction, neuronal damage, and altered neural connectivity, particularly in postpartum depression (PPD). Functional MRI studies reveal distinct patterns of brain function alteration, including amygdala non-responsivity in PPD, differing from traditional major depressive disorder (MDD). These neurobiological changes are connected with cognitive impairments and behavioral modifications, impacting maternal caregiving. Understanding these alterations is fundamental for developing effective treatments. The findings emphasize the importance of focusing on maternal mental health, advocating for early detection, and personalized treatment strategies to improve maternal and child outcomes.
