In a recent study on depression, the researchers have identified a link between depression and poor parenting skills, which could prove a key help for exploring the ways of preventing the trait from being passed to the progeny.
An article published by researchers at the University of Exeter has identified those symptoms of depression, which are expected to create difficulty in pertaining.
The article was published in the journal Psychological Medicine and suggests that parents with the symptoms of depression might be emotionally unavailable and as a result of which they feel shame and guilt towards their parenting role.
The study also indicates that problems with memory, which is a major symptom of depression, could also affect a parent's capability to set goals for their child required at appropriate developmental stage.
The findings of the study could lead to more effective interventions to prevent depression and other psychological disorders from being passed on from parent to offspring, reports Science Daily.
