Mothers with depression display less positive affect and sensitivity in interaction with their infants compared to non-depressed mothers. Depressed women also show more signs of distress and difficulties adjusting to their role as mothers than non-depressed women. In addition depressive mothers are reported to be affectively more negative with their sons than with daughters. Methods A non-clinical sample of 106 mother-infant dyads at psychosocial risk poverty alcohol or drug abuse lack of social support teenage mothers and maternal psychic disorder was investigated with EPDS maternal postpartum depressive symptoms the CARE-Index maternal sensitivity in a dyadic context and PSI-SF maternal distress . The baseline data were collected when the babies had reached 19 weeks of age. Results A hierarchical regression analysis yielded a highly significant relation between the PSI-SF subscale parental distress and the EPDS total score accounting for 55 of the variance in the EPDS. The other variables did not significantly predict the severity of depressive symptoms. A two-way ANOVA with infant gender and maternal postpartum depressive symptoms showed no interaction effect on maternal sensitivity. Conclusions Depressive symptoms and maternal sensitivity were not linked. It is likely that we could not find any relation between both variables due to different measuring methods self-reporting and observation . Maternal distress was strongly related to maternal depressive symptoms probably due to the generally increased .
