Stress and Mental Health

Chronic stress profoundly affects mental health, significantly influencing mood, behavior, and overall quality of life. Research closely links chronic stress with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Ongoing exposure to stress can lead to physiological and psychological changes, initiating a cycle of emotional distress and maladaptive coping mechanisms.
Individuals with depression often experience challenges in both their personal and professional...

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language

3.5K
Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory

1.9K
Memory is one of the most vital higher mental functions of the brain. Memory is closely related to learning because it enables us to retain information and experiences from our past to use them in our present life. It also helps us to remember facts, events, and skills, such as riding a bike or swimming. There are two types of memory — declarative memory, which involves memorizing facts or events, and procedural memory, which enables us to remember how to do something like writing or...

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Maternal Mental Health
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Post-partum depression (PPD) significantly impacts maternal well-being, particularly for first-time mothers.
  • Challenges in adapting to the maternal role increase vulnerability to PPD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of social support and parental self-efficacy on PPD in first-time mothers.
  • To assess the prevalence of PPD and associated factors.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective cohort study of 838 first-time pregnant women from third trimester to 12 weeks postpartum.
  • Utilized validated scales for depression, social support, marital satisfaction, and parental self-efficacy.
  • Logistic regression analysis to identify risk factors.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of PPD was 10.7% at three months postpartum.
  • Perceived social isolation was associated with increased PPD risk (OR=1.06).
  • Lack of marital satisfaction (OR=0.91) and low parental self-efficacy (OR=0.74) were linked to reduced PPD.

Conclusions:

  • PPD is a significant public health concern among first-time mothers.
  • Enhancing perceived social support, marital satisfaction, and parental self-efficacy can mitigate PPD risk.
  • Interventions targeting these factors are essential for maternal mental health support.
