Abstract
Background: Egsgaard et al. (2024) highlight the temporal patterns of postpartum depression (PPD) risk in twin parents versus singleton parents. However, additional factors such as social support systems, delivery mode, and cultural influences require exploration.
Purpose: To discuss the role of structured postpartum care, cesarean sections, and mother-infant bonding in moderating PPD risk, especially within cultural contexts.
Conclusion: These factors may explain the gender-specific temporal patterns observed by Egsgaard et al. Future research should integrate sociocultural and clinical variables to inform interventions for twin parents at risk of PPD.
期刊介绍:
Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica acts as an international forum for the dissemination of information advancing the science and practice of psychiatry. In particular we focus on communicating frontline research to clinical psychiatrists and psychiatric researchers.
Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica has traditionally been and remains a journal focusing predominantly on clinical psychiatry, but translational psychiatry is a topic of growing importance to our readers. Therefore, the journal welcomes submission of manuscripts based on both clinical- and more translational (e.g. preclinical and epidemiological) research. When preparing manuscripts based on translational studies for submission to Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, the authors should place emphasis on the clinical significance of the research question and the findings. Manuscripts based solely on preclinical research (e.g. animal models) are normally not considered for publication in the Journal.
