A global review of studies involving more than 7 million fathers, including Australians, and their children has confirmed a significant link between paternal depression and an increased risk of mental health issues in their offspring.
The Curtin University-led review looked at 16 international studies undertaken between 2002 and 2021, and found children faced a 42% higher risk of depression if their father was depressed.
Dr. Dachew said people's genetic predisposition, or the capacity we are born with to learn language and concept of self, parenting style and interaction, as well as family environment and stress, might explain the links researchers observed.child development "Our findings highlight the significance of adopting a family-focused approach that addresses both maternal and paternal mental health issues to mitigate the negative effects on children's well-being."
