Abstract：Maternal depression refers to non-psychotic depression during pregnancy and after delivery, and it not only causes maternal physical and mental symptoms, but also affects the development of offspring. Many epidemiological studies suggest that maternal depression is associated with intrauterine fetal growth, also induces children's internalization and externalization disorders as well as a range of health problems, and even has a close relationship with the mental status of adulthood. In this article we review the effects of maternal depression on pregnancy outcomes as well as children's cognition, behavior, emotion and health status so as to further explore the correlation between maternal depression and child development and provide a scientific basis for carrying out relevant researches in future.
