Differential impacts of parental attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder on early maternal‐infant attachment
Given parental ADHD (mother or father) was associated with increased maternal postpartum depressive symptoms and less optimal MIA in this study, additional support for families with ADHD in the perinatal period may improve maternal and infant mental health outcomes. Future work incorporating observational data and additional investigation of the coparenting relationship is needed to further clarify determinants of MIA in early childhood.
