New research from University of Toronto suggests remission from depression is slower in adults who were abused as children or had witnessed parental addictions.
Researchers studied a range of factors associated with remission in 1,128 depressed Canadian adults, drawn from the National Population Health Survey. These were followed every other year for twelve years, until remission finally occurred.
Three quarters of the adults were no longer depressed after two years, showing what the report describes as an ability to bounce back.
However for those adults who had witnessed parental addition, recovery time took an extra five months.
For those who had been abused in childhood, recovery time took an extra nine months
The study concludes that early adversaries have far reaching problems. They also say people abused in childhood or are children of parents who had an addiction, were more likely to suffer depression.
