How significantly do maternal depression and anxiety affect early childhood development in food-insecure households? The authors of this study found that infants who have depressed mothers living in mildly and moderately food-insecure households were more likely to experience early childhood development delays compared to their counterparts in food-secure households. Having a mother with both depression and anxiety increased that likelihood further. The authors recommend that health workers and programs wishing to promote early childhood development screen for and address caregiver depression, anxiety, and household food insecurity.
