We are deeply committed to advancing women's mental health in all its complexity. We believe it’s crucial to identify protective factors, but equally important to ensure that policy and clinical guidance is grounded in strong, transparent methods.

We also reflect on the broader context:
• Mental health around childbearing is complex and influenced by social, cultural, and structural factors
• Experiences like miscarriage or infertility deserve careful consideration
• The UK Biobank is not representative of global populations

Our commentary highlights concerns with the methodological approach and causal interpretation:
➖ Lack of information on pre-existing mental illness
➖ Heavy reliance on imputed data
➖ Discrepant findings across statistical methods
➖ Limited discussion of biological mechanisms

The study found that live births, particularly two, were associated with lower odds of depression and bipolar disorder, and proposed this as guidance for fertility decisions.
We felt it was important to engage with these claims carefully, especially given their broader implications.
