One in 40 Infants Experience Baby Blues, Doctors Say

Mental Health of Parents Can Have Effect on Child

Nov. 9, 2006 - - Parents do a lot of guessing on what could be troubling a fussy

baby.

If he's crying, he may be hungry or tired. But could he be depressed?

Any parent knows that young children have to be protected from a mind-boggling

number of risks, but many will be surprised to learn that infant depression

could be one of them.

" Babies can be depressed, " said Dr. Jess Shatkin, director of education and

training at New York University's Child Study Center. " It's not a terribly

common phenomenon. We think maybe one in 40 or so -- but it can certainly

happen. "

Although it's not very common, there are two telltale signs of baby depression,

experts say.

First, depressed babies do not exhibit a lot of emotion. Second, depressed

babies may have trouble eating or sleeping, and may be irritable.

In Britain, a 4-year-old girl recently made news when her doctor said her

depression was so serious, she may need antidepressants to treat it.

Stateside, new research on the brain has thrust infant mental health into the

spotlight, but a young child's life seems so easy. How does a baby get the

blues?

" Children can be raised in all sorts of environments, very loving, nurturing and

focused environments and environments that can be neglectful for the child or

even damaging, " Shatkin said.

Research has long confirmed that genetics and brain chemistry play critical

roles in the emotional health of babies and young children, but doctors stress

that the mental health of the parent or caregiver also has a critical impact.

" The risk of a child being depressed or having a behavior disorder or an anxiety

disorder, if that child has a depressed parent, is about three times that in the

general population, " Shatkin said.

No matter what the cause, depression in babies can be treated and because young

children are often highly resilient, intervening early can dramatically improve

the emotional life of the entire family.

" It's not like you're going to put the 10-month-old on the couch and do

psychotherapy with them, but you work with the family caregivers to try to get

them to understand what's going on with their child and to work with them on

becoming more responsive and better parents, " Shatkin said.

What You Can Do

If you suspect your baby is depressed, see your pediatrician.

Parents should think of their child's mental and emotional health as critical as

physical health.
