A large six-year study that tracked children ranging in age from 5 months to 5 years reports that 15% of participants had typically high symptoms of depression and anxiety, and that these children were more likely to have mothers with a history of depression.
The study, published in The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, also found that difficult temperament at 5 months was the most important predictor of depression and anxiety in children.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteNow we know that depression can be inherited. This is something we need to address. Depression can be very painful at any age.
Thank you,

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteDepression can be brought on by excessive, constant anger. I read that last week. Please pass that on to your family and friends.
Sincerely,
