Early-Life Adversity Tied to Brain Structure, Depression


A new study links family problems and other early life adversity to variation in brain structure in late adolescence and an increased risk for depression and anxiety among boys.
“The translational implications of this prospective study suggest the importance of interventions and policies for reducing mental health problems and enhancing at-risk children’s well-being,” Edward Barker, PhD, from the Department of Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London, United Kingdom, told Medscape Medical News.
Dr Barker, first author Sarah Jensen, MSc, from King’s College London, and colleagues describe their research online August 17 in JAMA Pediatrics.
