Understanding emotion processing in offspring of mothers with depression - A commentary on Burkhouse and Kujawa
1Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy, University Hospital LMU Munich, Munich, Germany.
Abstract:
In the JCPP Annual Research Review, Burkhouse and Kujawa (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2022) report a systematic review of 64 studies assessing the association between maternal depression and neural and physiological markers of children's emotion processing. This comprehensive review makes a novel contribution to models of transgenerational depression with important implications for future research in this field. In this commentary I reflect more generally on the role of emotion processing in the transmission of depression from parents to children and the clinical implications of neural and physiological studies.
