Unborn babies during pregnancy, stress, create greater risk of health problems in the rest of their lives. In addition there is evidence of a disturbed development of the neonatal brain. Dr. Daniel
van den Hove Maastricht University said at the Public Day of the Brain
Foundation which researchers from different institutes now know about
the effects of stress during pregnancy. He Wasen of the twelve speakers at the Public Day Brains and stress October 14, 2010 in the Jaarbeurs.
Reaching consequences
Changes in the fetal environment can have serious consequences on mental health in later life. It was shown that stressful events and also for example a depression in pregnant women affect the developing offspring. The offspring thus has a higher risk of mental problems. The exact mechanisms responsible for the effects of stress before birth (prenatal stress) on mental functioning in adulthood are still unknown. More research into these processes may be an appropriate method of treatment for mental disorders related closer.
Reduced birth weight
It also found that prenatal stress, reduced birth weight may result. The baby has a greater chance of health problems in later life. In addition there is evidence of a disturbed development of the neonatal brain. The processes that normally the growth and specialization of care brains are disordered. Such changes during early development may contribute to an increased risk of mental problems in adulthood.
Researchers have finally found evidence that the use of the antidepressant paroxetine during pregnancy even after years can have harmful consequences for posterity. To what extent is further explored.Top"Title"

Daniel van den Hove (1978) since 2002 as a researcher and lecturer at the Department of Psychiatry and Neuropsychology at Maastricht University. He graduated in 2001 as a medical biologist at the University of Amsterdam. He then did research at Maastricht University where he obtained his PhD in 2006 on the topic of prenatal stress and adult psychopathology. Besides his research and teaching function in Maastricht, since 2007 he works also as researcher in the Department of Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy at the University of Wurzburg in Germany. Since then, he focuses more specifically on gene-environment interactions as a biological model for the development of psychiatric disorders.
