Missouri, USA: Depression is a terrible condition and now it has been revealed that mothers who suffer from it can have delayed and different reactions when their children make demands.
Scientists at the University of Missouri have revealed that women struggling with depression are more likely to respond late to their children’s natural demands or conversations, at least through their interactions.
But the matter does not end here, because when young children learn the language, they themselves acquire knowledge from the words of the person in front of them, and now if their reaction is delayed in the embrace of the mother, then the children may have difficulty in learning the language and this Brain development can also be affected.
Experts believe that if mothers are late in responding to their child’s conversation, then it can affect the children’s education. In this regard, Nicholas Smith, associated with the University’s School of Health Professions, has conducted scientific research.
Professor Nichols, with the help of his team, recorded the daily conversations of 100 families who were suffering from financial difficulties and were suffering from depression due to financial problems. Then it was found that some of the mothers were suffering from severe and moderate depression. Their recordings revealed that when mothers spoke to their babies, there was a delay in their reactions, and this condition was prominent in all mothers with yasit.
According to experts, there is a link between mothers and children’s conversation and if the mother speaks late, the child also reacts in the same way, which affects the child’s ability to speak and learn.
However, among the mothers who were free from depression, this trend was not present, perhaps the reason for this is that depressed women are always worried about one or the other.
Experts have indicated further research on this and said that they will also work on how to eliminate this trend in mothers suffering from depression.
