Would This Cause an Adolescent to Develop Major Depressive Disorder and Severe Social Anxiety?

Question by Stupid Person: Would this cause an adolescent to develop major depressive disorder and severe social anxiety?
I was wondering, if both parents had the mental disorder that caused them to want the adolescent to be perfect.

Also, if the mother constantly accused the child of things the child did not do and stated she was jelous because the father purchased the child clothing for the child’s birthday and christmas. Also, the mother had some sort of eating disorder with side effects of a bad mood.

Yet, the father was nice and had a very stable mood. Although the father was intimately distant, even when physically present.

Would that have any contribution to an adolescent developing major depressive disorder and severe social anxiety?

Answer by gldjns
Yes, I believe it would. The kind of upbringing that a child has, will remain with that child all his or her life. Most people who have had a dysfunctional family background will manifest social anxiety and other emotional and depressive symptoms unless helped through therapy or psychological intervention. If your parents won’t take you, go by yourself to see a therapist. They are listed in your phone directory under “psychologists” or “counselors”. Good luck!
