The Impact of Parental Affective Disorder on Depression in Offspring: A Longitudinal Follow-up in a Nonreferred Sample
Abstract
Objective This study explored the effects of parental affective disorder on offspring in a nonreferred health maintenance organization 4 years after initial examination.Method The sample, average age 18.5 years, included 91% of the 153 youngsters initially studied. The main instruments were structured diagnostic interviews scored according to criterion systems for both parents and children; assessment of the youngsters was blind to the previous assessment.Results Rates of major depressive disorder were higher in the children of parents with affective disorder (26%) compared with those whose parents had no disorder (10%).Conclusion Depression and other parental affective disorders, as they occur in the community in parents who often are neither recognized nor treated, are associated with serious affective disorder in offspring. Clinical and preventive approaches for these offspring are needed and should be targeted to all families in which there is serious parental affective disorder, not just those who present for psychiatric treatment.

“However, research indicates that psychological well-being and emotional coping styles in parents are linked to anxiety symptoms in youth, aligning with the broader empirical literature on parental mental health as an important variable that predicts youth mental health outcomes and that is worthy of being its own clinical target (e.g., Beardslee and colleagues [13]).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
