About this issue
The purpose of this study was to explore adolescent depression in the light of parental depression and to examine the morbidity of depression with anxiety and anger in these adolescents. 30 female adolescents in the age group of 14 to 17 years were selected from schools in Delhi on the basis of score obtained on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (Beck, 1961). Both the parents of the sample were also administered the BDI. The level of anxiety and anger were measured by using the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger et al., 1970) and the Clinical Anger Scale (Snell et al., 1995), respectively. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between severity of depression in female adolescents and parental depression. The subjects high on depression had parents with depression, in comparison to the subjects who were low on depression. The study found non-significant difference between maternal and paternal depression. A comorbid relationship was found to exist between depression and anxiety, and between depression and anger.
