Mental health linked to stillbirth and newborn deaths Nov 10, 2008
" Women with other psychotic illnesses, including mood-affective disorders, manic depression and drug and alcohol addiction, were also shown to have a much greater risk of stillborn and newborn deaths. The risk of stillbirth due to complications during delivery among women with drug and alcohol problems was more than double that of healthy women. Women with affective disorders were more than twice as likely to give birth to babies with congenital abnormalities, leading to stillbirth. "For most... (EurekAlert!)
