A member asked:
Please tell me, could abusive parents cause child depression?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Childhood: Abuse may contribute to development of depression in a child. I suspect that might also be a cause (situational depression). Situations aren't usually black ; white. Suspect that many factors impact the development of depression in a child.

Living in an abusive: Home as a child impacts on the emotional health of any child. Since children are unable to get out of their home without help from adults, they are traumatized by abusive parents. If you are concerned that a child is being abuse, you can report it to child protective agencies anonymously and it will be investigated.
