Could Be Many Things: Since "maternal depression" is not a diagnostic term, it could mean several conditions. It could refer to postpartum depression, which can occur after a woman gives birth. It could refer to prenatal depression, which can occur during pregnancy. It could also refer simply to a mother who is depressed.
