Impact on Child Development
Maternal mental health directly affects the well-being and development of the child. Mental health conditions in mothers can lead to difficulties in bonding, emotional regulation, and cognitive development in children.
Importance of Early Intervention
Early detection and treatment of maternal mental health issues can significantly improve outcomes. Support systems, counseling, therapy, and in some cases, medication, can help mothers recover and provide a healthier environment for both the mother and child.
