  • Title: Emotional characteristics of infants associated with maternal depression and anxiety.
    Author: Weinberg MK, Tronick EZ.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1998 Nov; 102(5 Suppl E):1298-304. PubMed ID: 9794973.
    Abstract:
    Infants as young as 3 months are able to detect depression in their mothers. Depressed mothers are sufficiently different from nondepressed mothers in affect and interaction that the social, emotional, and cognitive functioning of their infants are compromised. This article reviews current findings on the effects of maternal depression and psychiatric illness on infants.
