Maternal mental health and child problem behaviours: disentangling the role of depression and borderline personality dysfunction

BACKGROUND: It is not known whether associations between child problem behaviours and maternal depression can be accounted for by comorbid borderline personality disorder (BPD) dysfunction. AIM: To examine the contributions of maternal depression and BPD symptoms to child problem behaviours. METHOD:...

description BACKGROUND: It is not known whether associations between child problem behaviours and maternal depression can be accounted for by comorbid borderline personality disorder (BPD) dysfunction. AIM: To examine the contributions of maternal depression and BPD symptoms to child problem behaviours. METHOD: Depression trajectories over the first-year postpartum were generated using repeated measurement from a general population sample of 997 mothers recruited in pregnancy. In a stratified subsample of 251, maternal depression and BPD symptoms were examined as predictors of child problem behaviours at 2.5 years. RESULTS: Child problem behaviours were predicted by a high maternal depression trajectory prior to the inclusion of BPD symptoms. This association was no longer significant after the introduction of BPD symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Risks for child problem behaviours currently attributed to maternal depression may arise from more persistent and pervasive difficulties found in borderline personality dysfunction.
