Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Specifically, they state, "Either parent having major depression and a mother having major
depression were associated with a significantly greater risk for major
depression and disruptive behavior disorders in both nonadopted and
adopted adolescents."
And, "Paternal depression did not have a main effect on
any psychiatric disorder in adolescents and, with one exception (ADHD
in adopted adolescents), did not predict significantly greater
likelihoods of disorders in either nonadopted or adopted adolescents."
Such a conclusion shows that even when the mother and child do not share any genetic materials the mere fact that the children live and interact with the depressed mother (nurturing, or the “environmental” factor) the risk of depression is much higher in such children.
However, the result of the Tully research shows that a depressed father does not greatly increase the risk of depression in adopted or non-adopted children.
In the October 11, 2008 (page 9) Science News article “Mom can increase her child’s risk of depression via nurture alone,” Dr. Tully states, “There is an environmental liability of maternal depression that cannot be accounted for by genes but that almost certainly interacts with genetic factors to create depression risk in children.”
Tully says that a depressed mom does not parent as well as a non-depressed mother.
Specifically, the researchers found more arguments and conflicts between the depressed mom and her husband than between the non-depressed mother and husband. Such outbursts add to the already depressive environment of a child being raised by a depressed mother. In addition, the study found that children of depressed mothers had fewer friendships among other children outside of the home.
