A study by Florida State University professor Robin Simon and Vanderbilt University's Ranae Evenson found that parents have significantly higher levels of depression than adults who do not have children. Even more surprising, the symptoms of depression do not go away when the kids grow up and move out of the house.
What does this mean for parents? The study indicates that this does NOT mean there are no benefits to parents but that parents tend to worry more and realistically they have more to worry about. The value of a study like this is that it presents a realistic view of the difficulties associated with parenthood and encourages parents to seek greater social and emotional support.
