A large new study has documented unexpected links in the timing and severity of symptoms of maternal depression, which could help mothers and doctors better anticipate and treat the condition. 一项新的大型研究记录了孕产妇抑郁症的发作时间与症状严重性之间出人意料的联系，这能帮助产妇和医生更好地预测和治疗这种疾病。 The study of more than 8,200 women from 19 centers in seven countries, published last month in Lancet Psychiatry, found that in those with the severest symptoms — suicidal thoughts, panic, frequent crying — depression most often began during pregnancy, not after giving birth, as is often assumed. 该研究上月发表在《柳叶刀精神病学》杂志(Lancet Psychiatry)上，它调查了七个国家19个中心的8200多名妇女。研究发现，症状最严重的抑郁症——自杀念头、恐慌、经常大哭——最常在怀孕期间开始，而非人们通常认为的分娩之后。 Moderately depressed women often developed their symptoms postpartum, and were more likely than severely depressed women to have experienced complications during pregnancy like pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes or hypertension. 中度抑郁的孕产妇通常在产后出现症状，而且与重度抑郁的孕产妇相比，她们更多地在怀孕期间经历过先兆子痫、孕期糖尿病或高血压等并发症。 Severely depressed women, however, more often reported complications during delivery. |
