母亲抑郁症与母亲对孩子问题的报告增多有关。然而，目前尚不清楚母亲评级的上升在多大程度上反映了抑郁症诊断、任何精神疾病诊断或诊断与症状水平的关系。作为 NIMH 资助的一项针对患有严重精神疾病的母亲 (N=379) 的纵向研究的一部分，我们研究了母亲报告的青少年行为问题 (N=78) 与母亲抑郁症与其他诊断之间的关系，以及抑郁症诊断与症状水平的影响。母亲是从城市地区的公共精神卫生系统招募的，主要是非裔美国人和低收入群体。我们发现，母亲的精神症状对解释母亲报告的儿童问题的差异做出了独特而重要的贡献，独立于对照（例如教师报告和儿童人口统计），而母亲的诊断却没有。讨论了研究结果的意义。
Maternal depression has been associated with mothers’ elevated reports of child problems. However, it is unclear the extent to which elevations in mother ratings reflect having a depression diagnosis, having any mental illness diagnosis, or having a diagnosis vs. symptom levels. As part of a NIMH-funded, longitudinal study of mothers with serious mental illness (N=379), we examined the relationship between mother-reported adolescent behavior problems (N=78) and maternal depression vs. other diagnoses, as well as the effects of depression diagnosis vs. symptom levels. Mothers were recruited from the public mental health system in an urban area, and are primarily African-American and low income. We found that maternal psychiatric symptoms made a unique and significant contribution to explaining the variance in mother-reported child problems, independent of controls (e.g., teacher reports and child demographics), while maternal diagnosis did not. Implications of findings are discussed.
