Original: Maternal depression tied to higher risk of special educational needs in kids

The findings, highlighted by CIDRAP, add to growing evidence that maternal mental health can have long-term effects on child development and schooling. Health commentators are urging better screening and support for mothers during and after pregnancy.
Why now: A newly reported study linking maternal depression to children's educational outcomes is drawing attention in health coverage.
