Pojmem „mateřská deprese“, který autorka sama definovala, dosud nebyl dostatečně popsán a odborně zkoumán a rozumí se jím dlouhodobý depresivní stav, jímž průběžně trpí matky malých dětí s predispozicí k depresi (na rozdíl od poporodní deprese). Na základě vlastní zkušenosti a výpovědí dalších matek, které se musely s tímto problémem dlouhodobě potýkat, Tracy Thompsonová tento stav popisuje a definuje, vymezuje se proti tabu, s nímž bývá stále ještě koncept „nemilující matky“ spojován, a nabízí řadu rad, jak si tuto situaci pokud možno usnadnit a hlavně jak ji nepředat dalším generacím.
