Adult children who are older and have parents addicted to alcohol or drugs have a higher risk of depression than children whose parents do not have the habit of drinking alcohol or illegal drugs.
It was discovered after researchers observed 6,300 adults in Canada. They found that about 312 people into a deep depression last year. Approximately 877 participants who began the study admitted under 18 years old and still living with my parents. They also explained that their parents have the habit of drinking alcohol and using drugs. Drinking alcohol and illicit drugs are recognized to cause problems in the family.
After calculating other factors such as age, gender, and race, researchers at the University of Toronto found that adults who had childhood experiences with parents who have an addiction to alcohol and drugs likely affected by depression twice as high.
"Even after accounting for other factors such as parenting mistakes, parental occupation, and parental lifestyle that is unhealthy, researchers found that parents addicted to alcohol and drugs associated with a 69 percent chance of causing a child depression," said lead researcher Esme Fuller-Thomson, as reported by U.S. News.
Fuller-Thomson explains that the possibility that parental behavior affects the way children deal with depression and stress. Researchers suggested that children who live with parents with alcohol or drug addiction have more contact with other family members such as fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or other.
