This increase in risk in the very preterm group is consistent with the sparse literature describing the association between gestational age and parent's mental health, where others have also suggested that degree
of prematurity is an important factor for maternal depressive
symptoms.41 Suggested antecedents
of PD include a trigger event resulting in a
stress (fight or flight)
response,
symptoms (eg, fatigue), perceived loss
of control and ineffective coping.10 This may fit the pattern
of parents who experience a very preterm baby leading to an increased risk
of PD, and this PD may result in
symptoms that would more commonly be recognised as
symptoms of postnatal depression or mood disorder (such as anxiety, depression, withdrawal from others and hopelessness).

Module 1 Title: Neurobiology
of Trauma & Dissociation and Evaluating Dissociation in Children and Adolescents Presenter: Frances Waters, DCSW, LMSW, LMFT Abstract Childhood dissociation is often misunderstood or missed with children with complex trauma due to lack
of understanding
of the animal
stress response system and overlapping
symptoms that can mask dissociation.
Specifically, the ACE Study model relies strongly on the idea that adverse childhood experiences create a burden
of psychological
stress that changes behavior, cognitions, emotions, and physical functions in ways that promote subsequent health problems and illness.22 Among the hypothesized pathways, adverse childhood experiences lead to depression and posttraumatic
stress disorder, which in turn can lead to substance abuse, sleep disorders, inactivity, immunosuppression, inflammatory
responses, and inconsistent health care use, possibly leading to other medical conditions later in life.23, 24 Therefore, childhood behavioral and emotional
symptoms very likely represent a crucial mediator linking adverse childhood experiences and the longer term health - related problems found in the ACE substudies.
These changes are important because both stressors and depression can sensitize the inflammatory
response in such a way that they produce heightened responsiveness to stressful events as well as antigen challenge.25, 27,28,60 Furthermore, more frequent or persistent
stress - related changes in plasma levels
of these key cytokines have broad implications for health; elevated levels
of proinflammatory cytokines have been linked to a variety
of age - related disease, including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, certain cancers, and frailty and functional decline.29 Moreover, inflammatory activation can enhance development
of depressive
symptoms.30, 31 Thus, relationships characterized by hostility, repeated conflicts, and heightened IL - 6 levels could have negative consequences for both physical and mental health.
