¶ … Maternal Mental Health in Pregnancy and Child Behavior. This is designed to provide better insights about how parental postpartum depression (PPD) is impacting the mother and the child. The findings are determined based upon looking at different cultures and the frequency of them. It is at this point, when there is a focus on previous research and any kind of gaps in existing theories. (Lukose, 2011)
In the future, these conclusions can improve everyone's understanding of how this is impacting both the patent and child during the pregnancy process. Then, after they are born is when these factors are taken into consideration to see how this is influencing their development. Over the course of time, this will enable healthcare professionals to understand the impact PPD on the parents and their children. (Lukose, 2011)
Provide a summation of the research conducted and the research findings
The research looked at the effects of PPD on different mothers from various cultures around the world. The basic idea is to establish a frequency of the problem on the mother and analyze how this influences their behavior. Evidence of this can be seen with Lukose (2011) saying, "Biological risk included a history of medical conditions, severe premenstrual symptoms and poor physical health. Psychological risk factors were depressive symptoms, . Economic and cultural variables were being an immigrant, being hungry in the past month, being a home maker, having an unemployed and uneducated husband, spouse's history of psychiatric disorder, polygamy, domestic violence, dissatisfaction with living conditions and lack of emotional support from husband and in-laws. Findings indicate that a wide range of psychosocial risk factors and past history of depression are associated with PPD. In addition, association between culture-specific risk factors (such as birth of a female child when a male child was preferred) and PPD merits further study." (Lukose, 2011)
These insights are showing how there are a number of variables which will have an impact on the health of the mother. This is because they are going through physical changes to their bodies before and after the pregnancy. At the same time, they will have to wrestle with external factors which can cause their depression to become even worse. (Lukose, 2011)
Next, there is a focus on the effects this is having on the child before and after they are born. What Lukose determined, is that the mother could be treated for PPD with different forms of anti-depressants. However, this will lead to developmental issues for the unborn…

Children of Alcoholic Parents It is generally accepted that alcoholism tends to run in families and that compared with children of non-alcoholics, children of alcoholic parents have approximately four time greater risk of becoming alcoholics themselves (Reich Pp). However, the causal factors that determine the development of alcohol abuse and dependence have not yet been conclusively determined (Reich Pp). Studies from the 1950's and 1960's generally emphasized psychosocial explanation, such as "poor
