Abstract
Poor maternal mental health is associated with adverse effects in child development. Traumatic exposure to a natural disaster, such as Hurricane Maria, could increase the risk of PTSD and other psychopathologies. Children of mothers with disaster-related PTSD and depression have been shown to be more reactive, anxious, and depressed. This study aims to describe prenatal psychopathologies in the context of posthurricane PTSD.
