- Abstract
The article discusses the impact of maternal depression on children. Psychological factors contributing to the risk for depression include a negative cognitive and attributional style, as well as poor coping skills to deal with life stresses. Symptoms of depression include a persistent sadness, diminished appetite and feelings of worthlessness. The developmental stage of a child determines how the negative effects of maternal depression are manifested.
