BACKGROUND: The birth of a child with a major congenital anomaly may create chronic caregiving stress for mothers, yet little is known about their psychiatric outcomes. AIMS: To evaluate the association of the birth of a child with a major congenital anomaly with subsequent maternal psychiatric risk. METHODS: This Danish nationwide cohort study included mothers who gave birth to an infant with a major congenital anomaly (n = 19 220) between 1997 and 2015. Comparators were randomly selected mothers, matched on maternal age, year of delivery and parity (n = 195 399). The primary outcome was any new-onset psychiatric diagnosis. Secondary outcomes included specific psychiatric diagnoses, psychiatric in-patient admissions and redeemed psychoactive medicines. Cox models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs), adjusted for socioeconomic and medical variables. RESULTS: Mothers of affected infants had an elevated risk for a new-onset psychiatric disorder vs. the comparison group (adjusted HR, 1.16, 95% CI 1.11-1.22). The adjusted HR was particularly elevated during the first postpartum year (1.65, 95% CI 1.42-1.90), but remained high for years, especially among mothers of children with multiorgan anomalies (1.37, 95% CI 1.18-1.57). The risk was also elevated for most specific psychiatric diagnoses, admissions and medicines. CONCLUSIONS: Mothers who give birth to a child with a major congenital anomaly are at increased risk of new-onset psychiatric disorders, especially shortly after birth and for mothers of children with more severe anomalies. Our study highlights the need to screen for mental illness in this high-risk population, as well as to integrate adult mental health services and paediatric care.
