Article Abstract
Background: Mental disorders such as depression and anxiety are common for women of reproductive age and impact pregnancy and parenting. Invasive disease (iGBS) is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Little is known about the short and long-term risk of common mental disorders in birthing parents whose infants had iGBS in the first 89 days after birth. We aimed to examine the risk of depression and anxiety in birthing parents with iGBS-affected infants in a cohort study with prospectively collected data from Danish registries.
Materials And Methods: Using Danish healthcare registries from 1997 to 2018, we obtained data on iGBS-affected children and their birthing parents. A comparison cohort was randomly sampled (1:50) through risk-set sampling, and matched on persons' age, year of child´s birth, and parity. The risk of using antidepressant medicines and depression or anxiety diagnosis was analyzed with cumulative incidence function and in Cox proportional hazards regression models.
Results: During the study period, we identified 1,552 women with iGBS-affected child and 76,879 matched comparators. During a median follow-up of 9∙9 years, the cumulative incidence of antidepressants use among birthing parents with iGBS-affected children was 31% (95% confidence interval, CI: 28-34%), as compared with 29% (95% CI: 28-30%) among members of the comparison cohort (hazard ratio 1∙12 [95% CI: 1∙01-1∙25]). A 16% increase in the rate of diagnosed depression or anxiety was observed in the overall follow-up period.
Conclusion: Our findings provide evidence of a slightly increased risk of antidepressant use and diagnosed depression or anxiety in parents who gave birth to children with a history of iGBS compared to a matched cohort of birthing parents whose infants did not develop iGBS. Our findings highlight the importance of addressing the mental health needs of birthing parents affected by their children' iGBS.

Background: Some psychotic experiences in the general population show associations with higher schizophrenia and other mental health-related polygenic risk scores (PRSs), but studies have not usually included interviewer-rated positive, negative and disorganised dimensions, which show distinct associations in clinical samples.
Aims: To investigate associations of these psychotic experience dimensions primarily with schizophrenia PRS and, secondarily, with other relevant PRSs.
Method: Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) birth cohort participants were assessed for positive, negative and disorganised psychotic experience dimensions from interviews, and for self-rated negative symptoms, at 24 years of age.
