A member asked:
Might it be possible that a lack of attention from parents cause children to be depressed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neglect: Neglect or lack of attention can cause problems with attachment, and a sense of loss - bot which can trigger or cause risk for depression - sometimes children will show anger in response, but sometimes this is just a mask for the underlying depression or a negative way to fill the loss of attention.
