Anxiety during pregnancy and the postpartum period has been shown to have detrimental impacts on children's brain development12,13,16,46. In this work, we looked at the effects of maternal anxiety both during and after pregnancy on the size and connectivity of the amygdala in the offspring. We began by determining the size of the amygdala in children and then creating maps of the neural connections that it has with the rest of the brain. We used Spearman correlations to look for links between variables like mother anxiety and postpartum depression and other things like birth weight and age of the kid.

This includes imitative behaviours, which can result in emotional and physical issues for adolescents.

This is referred to as the "Werther effect," but it is also possible for positive outcomes to occur, such as increased awareness of suicide, stigma reduction, and help...
