Dads' depression risk climbs again a year after birth, study finds

A Swedish study of over 1 million fathers (2003–2021) finds that while pregnancy and early postpartum lower risk, diagnoses for depression and stress-related disorders rise by more than 30% toward the end of the first year after a child’s birth, then level off about a year later. The findings underscore the importance of screening and supporting fathers’ mental health, a need often overlooked compared with mothers.

Motherhood reshapes the brain: pregnancy trims grey matter to aid bonding

A BeMother study of 127 pregnant women and 32 nonpregnant controls found a ~5% reduction in grey matter during pregnancy, especially in regions linked to social cognition; greater shrinkage correlated with stronger self-reported bonding with the baby. Rising estrogen tracked with the brain changes. Grey matter partially recovered by six months postpartum but not fully, with more complete recovery linked to lower hostility toward the baby and better attachment, suggesting pregnancy-related brain remodeling may support adaptive maternal behavior and maternal mental health.

Wisconsin approves yearlong postpartum Medicaid after leader’s reversal

The Wisconsin Assembly voted 95-1 to join a federal program extending Medicaid coverage for low-income new mothers to 12 months after birth, up from 60 days, after Speaker Robin Vos dropped his opposition. The measure, already cleared by the Senate, now heads to Gov. Tony Evers, who is expected to sign. The policy carries an estimated state cost of about $9.4 million with federal funds covering roughly $14.1 million, and was supported by hospitals, medical groups, and advocates for mothers.

Postpartum window reveals hidden ADHD in mothers, Danish study finds

A Danish population-based cohort study of 363,904 mothers (2010–2018) finds ADHD diagnoses dip during pregnancy (about 72% lower than pre-pregnancy) but rise in the years after childbirth, with incidence 24% higher than pre-pregnancy two to five years postpartum (IRR 1.24) and peaking around 4–5 years postpartum. More than half of postpartum ADHD cases had prior psychiatric treatment, suggesting comorbidity or misdiagnosis, and highlighting the postpartum period as a key window for ADHD screening and support.
