... In the process of searching for the main factor of maternal depression and suicidal thoughts during pregnancy, numerous research have reported that the presence of positive spousal support plays a dominant role in maintaining a good emotional health, and well-being (Badr et al., 2005;Rondo et al., 2003;Gausia et al., 2012) and quality of life for mother and child Ghosh et al, 2010;Yee & Lua Pei Lin, 2006;Ngui, Cortright & lair, 2009;Alio et al, 2001;Alio et al., 2010) while absents of the spousal support during pregnancy will drastically increase the level of depression (Elsenbruch et al., 2007) and the risk of suicidal thoughts (Philipps & O'Hare 1991;Chaudron 2003). ...

... Postpartum depression is not only disruptive to mothers' daily life, but it is also an impediment to their responsiveness to their infant needs, such as showing positive affect and actively engaging in early mother-child interaction, which are essential behaviors for secure attachment formation (Baker & Kuhn, 2018;Balbierz et al., 2015;Field, 2010;Goodman, 2008;Herba, 2014;Josefsson & Sydsjö, 2007;Mezulis et al., 2004;Philipps & O'Hara, 1991;Tammentie et al., 2004). Deficits in these parental behaviors are associated with disadvantages in cognitive, neural, social-emotional, and behavioral development among children (Goodman & Gotlib, 1999;Herba, 2014;Josefsson & Sydsjö, 2007;Knoche et al., 2007;Mezulis et al., 2004). ...
... Women with antenatal depression face increased risks of preterm birth, low birth weight, and intrauterine growth restriction [22][23][24][25]. Moreover, antenatal depression can lead to poor health behaviors, such as noncompliance with antenatal care, an increased risk of substance abuse, cigarette smoking, lack of exercise, and failure to adhere to taking essential prescription medication [26,27]. The most concerning complication associated with antenatal depression is suicide [28]. ...
