A large six-year study that tracked children ranging in age from 5 months to 5 years reports that 15% of participants had typically high symptoms of depression and anxiety, and that these children were more likely to have mothers with a history of depression.
The study, published in The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, also found that difficult temperament at 5 months was the most important predictor of depression and anxiety in children.
