New U.K. research has found that drinking during pregnancy could increase a child's risk of mental health problems, especially anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems.
Led by researchers at the University of Bristol, the new review looked at 33 studies carried out in the U.K., U.S., Australia, Scandinavia, Canada, and Taiwan to investigate whether alcohol consumption during pregnancy could affect a child's mental health at age three or older.
The 33 studies included in the review looked at a range of mental health outcomes, including anxiety/depression, emotional problems, internalizing problems , and conduct disorder, a disorder which occurs in children and teenagers and includes a range of antisocial behaviors.
