Social and Life Cycle Perspectives on Teenager Pregnancy's Psychological Effects

Abstract

Teen pregnancy and psychological well-being are intricately linked. Pregnancy itself may exacerbate a depressive state, but psychological issues are also common precursors to adolescent pregnancies and may play a role in maintaining them. Expectant and parenthood adolescents (EPT) are at a higher risk for mental health issues because they must deal with the stresses of pregnancy, parenthood, and adolescence. Teenagers whose parents have suffered from melancholy are at an even more significant risk of developing depressive symptoms themselves and passing them on to their children. Negative emotional effects are not unavoidable, although they may happen. Well-being results in later life and across generations are influenced by a wide range of risk and safeguarding factors that may be better understood through the lens of the social and ecological framework and the life cycle viewpoint. This method may have significant effects on teenage mental health and the prevention of unplanned or untimely pregnancies. Using a socio-ecological framework and a life cycle viewpoint, this research discusses the differences in mental health results among EPT and highlights the frequency of mental health disorders among this population. We also address the repercussions for treatments and fresh approaches
