Mental health before birth?

Hello buddies, How are you? I hope you be fine.

A pregnant lady.
Well, today I’m going to write a summary about a news that I read. What it is about? It was about an study about the influence of the depression in the pregnancy of the mother on the baby. This study suggest that the high level of the cortisol, the hormone responsible of the stress, may affect the development of the foetus, and the kid could be more susceptible to devolop a depression in the adolescence.

This studio was published in a leading medical journal. Was developed in Bristol University in England.
The experts called to present more attention to this kind of research and be more careful with depressed pregnant womens because it could be a very good indicator to predict a future depression in her son.
By other way, this research indicate that the depression in the father could doesn't affect the future mental health of his children.

But no all is the pregnant, the depression in the mother on the post natal increases the possibility in her son to get a depression in the adolescence, so it is very important to care about the mother after and before the pregnancy if she is depressed.

The experts said that this study it is important because gives the possibility to predicts and heal the depression even before the birth. This research, finally, proves that the mental health begins before we used to think. 
Congratulations to the investigators.

See you next week.
PD: I left you the original article
