You heard it right, babies who receive incubator care after birth are two to three times less likely to suffer depression as adults according to a new study published in the journal Pyschiatry Research.
Researchers feel that the separation of the baby and the mother is what makes this work.“In mammals, separation between mother and child after birth has always been considered a major stressor that can cause behavioural problems well into adulthood,” says coauthor
Richard E. Tremblay a professor of psychology, pediatrics and psychiatry at the Université de Montréal and director of the Research Unit on Children’s Psycho-Social Maladjustment at the Sainte Justine Hospital Research Center.
“Our hypothesis was that mother-baby separation resulting from incubator care could heighten depression in adolescence or adulthood. Instead, we found that incubator care could decrease the risk of depression two-to-threefold by the age of 21.”
