The Link between depression in mothers and offspring: an extended twin analysis.

Behavior genetics - 1 Sept 2005

Rice Frances, Harold Gordon T, Thapar Anita

Abstract excerpt

Family studies have shown that maternal depression is a risk factor for depression in children. It is unclear, however, to what extent the familial transmission of depression from mother to child involves genes and how much is due to environmental adversity. This study used an extended twin design to assess the importance of environmental factors in the association of depression in mothers and children while...
