Fighting Parents can trigger teen depression

Children who often see their parents having rows are at risk of depression, experts have warned. Teenagers who witnessed lots of arguments in early childhood were more likely to suffer from the illness than others, said a Cambridge University team. Those who did badly had a gene – present in one in five people – that made them less emotionally resilient. Highest at risk were those who had been exposed before the age of six to intermittent parental arguments.
