Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that children of mothers who experienced depression during pregnancy are more likely to exhibit externalizing behaviors such as aggression, hyperactivity, and conduct problems. They may also have difficulty regulating their emotions and have a higher risk of developing depression and anxiety themselves. However, it is important to note that each individual is unique and not all children of mothers with depression will exhibit behavioral problems.
