Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Pregnant Women/ Mothers:
  • Inclusion and exclusion criteria for pregnant women/ mothers will be determined by a combination of the initial screen and intake assessment.
  • Inclusion criteria include:
  • be 21-45 years old
  • be a female who is currently pregnant (8-22 weeks GA at screening)
  • fluently speak English
  • be available and physically able to attend group scheduled meetings
  • have a single gestation, and
  • have a history of an internalizing psychiatric disorder.
  • Exclusion criteria include:
  • Major neurological or medical condition (e.g., diabetes, MS),
  • IQ \<80
  • maternal use of psychotropic medications, insulin, or any other medications that might impact the central nervous system (at the time of enrollment)
  • current diagnosis of substance use disorder, illicit drug use or nicotine use
  • diagnosis of autism, developmental disorder involving intellectual disability or a psychotic disorder
  • current major depressive episode, eating disorder or manic episode
  • current active suicidality and/or homicidally, or interpersonal violence
  • prior history of engaging in mindfulness-based psychotherapeutic interventions (e.g., MBCT, MBSR, DBT (mindfulness module))
  • pregnancy-specific medical conditions or complications including placental abnormality or other conditions requiring bed rest
  • known congenital, genetic, or neurologic disorder of the fetus (e.g., Down syndrome, fragile X)
  • uncorrectable vision or hearing impairments (including color blindness)
  • Infants:
  • Inclusion for infants to participate in MRI scan include:
  • being between 37 and 50 weeks gestational age (GA) equivalent at time of 1st scan\*
  • not meeting any of the exclusion criteria below.
  • We are using GA equivalent rather than postnatal age because infants born pre-term will not be scanned prior to term equivalent (37 weeks GA). Therefore, infants who are born preterm may be older in terms of postnatal age, but will be similar to infants born at term with regard to time since conception. The time since conception is more pertinent to our measures of brain development versus postnatal age.
  • Exclusion criteria for infants (specifically exclusionary for MRI scan) include:
  • congenital, genetic, or neurologic disorder (e.g., Down syndrome, fragile X)
  • major neurologic disorder at birth (e.g., bacterial meningitis, epilepsy)
  • birth \< 30 weeks GA
  • medical complications following birth requiring ongoing hospitalization.
  • medical complications or health problems at or following birth, which could make an MRI scan unsafe or uncomfortable
