Mood Disorders in Adulthood can be Traced to Adolescent Stress
Now, the researchers from Concordia University are looking forward to find the link between childhood stress and the development of clinical depression and bipolar disorder.
"What is especially alarming is that depression in young people is increasing in successive generations. People are suffering from depression earlier in life and more people are getting it.
We want to know why and how. We believe that stress is a major contributor," said principal researcher Mark Ellenbogen, a professor at the Concordia Centre for Research in Human Development.
His team is evaluating the stress of children who are living in families where one parent is affected by a mood disorder.
"Previous studies have shown that kids from at-risk families are at higher risk of having a psychiatric disorder in their lifetime," says Ellenbogen.
"We know that they're not just inheriting these traits but they are also being raised in environment that is stressful, chaotic and lacking in structure. Our goal is to tease out how this type of environment influences these children's mental health in adolescence and adulthood," he explained further.
