According to the research at King's College London and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, bipolar disorder, depression and psychosis might be linked to premature birth.

Actually, this research is based on the data between 1973 and 1985. Present medical situation is improved more than this era. The doctors can manage to use superior instruments and cutting-edge knowledge.

Premature birth linked to worse mental health

Being born prematurely is linked to an increased risk of a range of mental health problems much later in life, according to researchers.

Bipolar disorder, depression and psychosis were all more likely, the study in The Archives of General Psychiatry suggested.

The overall risk remained very low, but was higher in premature babies.

Experts cautioned there have since been significant advances in caring for premature babies.

Full-term pregnancies last for around 40 weeks, but one in 13 babies are born prematurely, before 36 weeks.
