Treatment of women with postpartum mental disorders in a day clinic mother-baby unit and the effect on child behavioural problems – A 1-year follow-up
Interaction-focused treatment in a mother-baby day clinic may be associated with clinically meaningful improvements in maternal mental health outcomes up to 1-year follow-up. These long-term improvements may also relate to less child behavioural problems. However, the absence of a waiting list control group warrants cautious interpretation of findings.
