Core Tip This letter highlights the value of modeling anxiety and depressive symptoms across pregnancy to better understand their evolving influence on postpartum depression. By emphasizing time-dependent interactions rather than static measurements, the discussed study identifies critical gestational windows for early risk detection. The findings support a shift toward stage-specific screening strategies and proactive intervention during pregnancy. Future research integrating prospective designs and standardized assessments may further refine prevention efforts and reduce the global burden of postpartum depression.
