A mental health researcher who has studied depressed mothers in Pakistan plans an effort next year to help them. Doctor Atif Rahman is in the Department of Child Psychiatry (精神病治疗法) at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital in England.

Doctor Rahman led a team that linked depression (消沉) in women with lover weight in their babies during the first year of life.

1

The study identified one hundred and sixty of the women, or one in four, as depressed. They had lost interest or pleasure in normal life. They always felt sad or tired. They had problems eating or sleeping. They felt guilty and thought about killing themselves.

2

Re-examinations took place at two, six and twelve moths of age. The health workers also re-examined the mental health of the mothers.

Babies whose mothers remained depressed grew less than the babies of the other women. The babies of depressed mothers were also more likely to get sick with diarrhea (腹泻). The findings appeared in September in Archives of General Psychiatry (精神病学档案).

3

Other studies in South Asia have found that depression affects almost twice as many women in developing countries. Conditions in poor countries can make it more difficult to care for a baby. Doctor Rahman says depression can make it even more difficult for a mother to do things such as boil water to kill harmful arganisms (微生物).

4

These women visit new mothers for up

to a year. The workers offer advice about things like health and cleanliness.

5

The program will be tested for three years to see how well it succeeds. A. Now Doctor Rahman wants to add special support for depressed mothers. The idea is that the health worker will listen to the mother’s problems and suggest some easy things at first that she can do for her baby. B. Earlier studies showed that ten to fifteen percent of pregnant women and new mothers in Western nations suffer from depression. C. For ten years, Pakistan has employed what are called “lady health workers”.

D. The team studied six hundred and thirty-two women from small villages in Rawalpindi. The women were in good physical health and in the last three months of pregnancy. E. The researchers compared these women with one hundred and sixty others who were not depressed. Health workers then weighed and measured the babies of both groups at birth. F. The study showed that depression in women had nothing to do with lower weight in their babies. [参考答案] DEBCA
