Abstract：Antenatal Depression is a prevalent psychological disorder during pregnancy,which not only increases the risk of other pregnancy complications and adverse outcomes but also increases the likelihood of mental disorders in offspring.In recent years,there have been studies on antenatal depression leading to mental disorders in offspring,and it has been found that antenatal depression is significantly associated with childhood depression,attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD),and autism spectrum disorder(ASD).However,the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.This paper provides a comprehensive review of the assessment and prediction of antenatal depression,and the common mental disorders in offspring resulting from antenatal depression,aiming to guide clinical practice and scientific research.
