Childhood Maltreatment Associated With Risk for Long-Term Depression

As in nutritional child abuse.

Depression is among the most common psychiatric conditions. According to Solomon and colleagues in the February 2000 issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry, 60% of patients will have a recurrence within 5 years of recovering from a depressive episode. The risk for a depressive episode is greater for those with a history of childhood maltreatment vs those without a history of maltreatment, as reported by Kessler in the 1997 issue of the Annual Review of Psychology.
