The New York Times (7/17, Barry ) reports “researchers who conducted a large study of adults in Denmark” found that “adults who moved frequently in childhood have significantly more risk of suffering from depression than their counterparts who stayed put in a community.” The research found “adults who moved more than once between the ages of 10 and 15…were 61 percent more likely to suffer from depression in adulthood compared with counterparts who had not moved, even after controlling for a range of other individual-levelfactors.” The findings were published in JAMA Psychiatry.
Psychiatric News (7/17) reports the study “found that individuals who lived in neighborhoods during childhood that were more income deprived were more likely to develop depression in adulthood, but the experience of moving during childhood – regardless of income – was associated with significantly higher rates of depression compared with those who did not move.”
