Grandparents’ support may lower risk of maternal depression, study says | CNN
When it comes to a mom’s mental health, grandparents are a big deal, according to a new study.
“Mothers are less likely to purchase antidepressants if their own parents are younger than 70, employed and do not have severe health problems,” said the study’s lead author, Dr. Niina Metsä-Simola, a lecturer and demographics researcher at the University of Helsinki in Finland.
Researchers tracked 488,000 mothers of young children in Finland between 2000 and 2014, according to the report published Thursday in the journal Population Studies.
