Bidirectional Links Between Maternal and Adolescent Depression: Separating Between and Within Dyad Differences
The results highlight the critical importance of examining bidirectional pathways of risk, which may implicate family functioning and interventions for youth depression. Interventions for youth depression typically do not reliably incorporate parents; however, as the current findings suggest, both parent and youth depression are mutually reinforcing, such a bidirectional perspective could prove to be beneficial in treatment.
