调查了200名抑郁症患者在15岁之前因死亡而失去父母的发生率，这些患者被细分为单相、双相和神经反应性抑郁症患者，以及他们处于危险中的健康兄弟姐妹。将15岁以前失去父母的患者与抑郁对照组的发病年龄进行比较。与他们的健康兄弟姐妹相比，在任何年龄的患者亚组中都没有发现过多的父母丧失，父母的丧失也没有影响后来抑郁的发病年龄。这些结果不支持这样的假设，即儿童早期因死亡而失去父母之一与成年后的抑郁显著相关，尽管父母的死亡可能是个别患者的一个重要变量。
The incidence of parental loss by death before the age of 15 was investigated in a series of 200 depressed patients, sub-divided into unipolars, bipolars and neurotic-reactive depressives, and in their healthy siblings at risk. The age of onset of illness of patients who had lost a parent before 15 was compared with that of depressed controls. No excess of parental loss at any age was found in any of the patient sub-groups, as compared with their healthy siblings, nor did parental loss affect the age of onset of later depression. The results do not support the assumption that the loss of either parent by death in early childhood is significantly associated with depression in adult life, though parental death may be an important variable for individual patients.
