题目内容:
Young people’s mental health is of increasing interest and concern to researchers, policymakers, and families alike-but can treating teenagers’ mental health problems also improve the wellbeing of their parents? New research suggests that it can. The study, conducted by Kelsey Howard, a doctoral candidate at Northwestern University, found that regardless of which treatment teenagers were using for their depression, the mental health of their parents improved too.
Older findings say that there is a link between mothers’ depression and major depression in their teenagers, although it seems not to be biological. However, the latest research suggests that the relationship between parents’ and their children’s mental health might work in the other direction too.
While Howard’s research hasn’t evidenced a clear reason for this trend, she told The Atlantic: “If the family members interact with (交往) each other well, the kid will be more pleasant to be around and make less negative statements, which will affect how other family members think.”
Tom Madders, director of campaigns at YoungMinds, told HuffPost UK that for parents, watching their children go through mental health problems can be difficult, especially if they feel responsible. Madders also noted that parents often make big lifestyle changes, say, giving up their jobs, to support their children with depression, particularly in cases where their children have to leave school because of their mental health problems. However, Madders thought this can only make things worse. “Parents’ sacrifice adds pressure to the delicate shoulder owners,” he said.
The process of waiting to get treatment can also be an added stressor: “Every day we get calls to our helpline from parents whose children have been waiting months for an initial assessment, or left on long waiting lists for treatment that they need … that’s why it’s important that the Government commits to long-term extra investment in children’s mental health services.”
