Abstract

In the perinatal period, about 15–20 % of women will present a mental health disorder (Gavin et al. 2005; Munk-Olsen et al. 2009). The economic cost of perinatal mental health, corollary of this human cost, evaluated in 2014 would amount to £GBP 8.1 billion per annual birth cohort according to a UK report (Bauer et al. 2014). These disorders possibly leading to poor quality of parent-child relationships are widely involved in predicting poor mental health in adulthood (Stansfeld et al. 2008; Ramchandani et al. 2008; Wickramaratne et al. 2011). The UK report translates this scientific knowledge by economic data: 3/4 (72 %) of the perinatal mental health costs are associated with the deleterious consequences of parental psychological disorders on child development. On the other hand, the influence of parental characteristics on the future of children can vary depending on social determinants such as familial income level (WHO 2014). Yet despite this negative finding, the prevention of parenting difficulties and early treatment of children in adverse situations results in developmental and economic benefits (WHO 2014).
