Association among postpartum depression, eating disorders, and perfectionism in a population-based sample of adult women

Article Abstract:

The associations between eating disorders, depressive symptoms during pregnancy and postpartum, and perfectionism are evaluated in a population-based sample of women. The results highlight the importance of assessing specific features of perfectionism, and suggest that women with eating disorders or high Concern over Mistakes might be at particular risk of developing postpartum depression (PPD) symptoms and could benefit from prenatal screening.

A pediatric twin study of brain morphometry

Article Abstract:

Additive genetic, common environment and unique environment effects as well as age by heritability interactions are estimated using structural equation modeling on measures of brain volumes from the magnetic resonance imaging brain scans acquired on a pediatric sample of monozygotic and dyzygotic twin pairs, and unrelated singletons. Results suggest additive genetic effects accounted for a substantial portion of variability in all brain regions with notable exception of the cerebellum.
