Physical punishment is associated with a range of mental health problems in children, youth and adults, including
depression, unhappiness, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, use of drugs and alcohol, and general psychological maladjustment.26 — 29 These relationships may be mediated by disruptions in parent — child attachment resulting from pain inflicted by a caregiver, 30,31 by increased levels of cortisol32 or by chemical disruption of the brain's mechanism for regulating stress.33 Researchers are also finding that physical punishment is linked to slower
cognitive development and adversely affects academic achievement.34 These findings come from large longitudinal studies that control for a wide range of potential confounders.35 Intriguing results are now emerging from neuroimaging studies, which suggest that physical punishment may reduce the volume of the brain's grey matter in areas associated with performance
on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, third edition (WAIS - III).36 In addition, physical punishment can cause alterations in the dopaminergic regions associated with vulnerability to the abuse of drugs and alcohol.37

Maternal postnatal
depression (PND) is common with a prevalence in the developed world of around 13 % 1 and a far higher prevalence in some developing world contexts.2, 3,4 There is a considerable body of evidence attesting to the fact that PND limits a mother's capacity to engage positively with her infant, with several studies showing that PND compromises child
cognitive, behavioural and emotional
development.5 It has proved difficult to predict PND antenatally6 and, in any event, preventive interventions have largely proved ineffective.7 Research and clinical attention has, therefore, been focused
on the treatment of manifest PND.

depression, observational measures of parenting and mother - child interaction to assess specific aspects of parenting and the mother - child relationship, and outcome measures focused
on children's social - emotional and
cognitive development, school readiness and overall adjustment.4
The widespread absence of attention to the mother - child relationship in the treatment of
depression in women with young children is another striking example of the gap between science and practice that could be reduced by targeted pediatric advocacy.97 Extensive research has demonstrated the extent to which maternal
depression compromises the contingent reciprocity between a mother and her young child that is essential for healthy
cognitive, linguistic, social, and emotional
development.98 Despite that well - documented observation, the treatment of
depression in women with young children is typically viewed as an adult mental health service and rarely includes an explicit focus
on the mother - child relationship.
