Parent-child interaction among depressed fathers and mothers: impact on child functioning

Article Abstract:

Depression in the mother has a broadly similar impact on the child as depression in the father. In both cases, depression brings impaired parent-child communication. Overall, families with a depressed parent show reduced positivity and congeniality compared with families without a depressed parent. There is strong evidence for a family systems model of depression, with one parent's depression affecting relationships in which he or she may not be directly involved.
