This study found that young women who often experience depression in adolescence is triggered by a lack of time spent by him along with his father as a child.
Researchers, published in Psychological Medicine found that girls whose father lost his father at the age of 0 to five years more prone to depression during adolescence than girls who left her father when she was five to 10 years. But apparently, the same does not apply to men.
These results were found after researchers conducted a long term study on children of 14,000 mothers during the years 1991-1992. Total, researchers looked at 5,631 children, as reported by the Huffington Post.
"This study shows the importance of the father's role in the mental development of the child and its influence when the children get older," said Iryna Culpin, head of research.
