Gestational diabetes mellitus and peripartum depression: a longitudinal study of a bidirectional relationship
This study provides evidence of a bidirectional relationship between GDM and PPD only in women with normal body weight before pregnancy. The results highlight the complexity of the relationship between peripartum mental and metabolic health, that is dependent on pre-pregnancy BMI. Clinicians should be aware that normal-weight women may have a unique sensitivity to the bidirectional interplay between GDM and PPD. Pregnant women should be closely monitored for both mental and metabolic health issues and targeted for prevention programs to reduce the risks and burdens associated with both conditions.
