“…As for the direction of the association between them, the majority of extant studies supported the family-driven effect (family function influences adolescent depressive symptoms), in which researchers regard family function as an important predictor of adolescent depressive symptoms. For example, some scholars found that adolescents living in highly dysfunctional families were prone to have negative self-cognition, which was a key trigger to the emergence of depressive symptoms in adolescents (34,35). Similar results were found among teenagers in China (36,37).…”

The complex interrelationships between family function and adolescents' depressive symptoms are not yet fully clarified, especially in China. Based on the family systems theory, this study explored the relationships between family function and Chinese adolescents' depressive symptoms by a 3-year longitudinal study design. Three waves of data were collected from 1,301 Chinese middle school students in Grade 7 to Grade 9. All participants completed the Chinese Family Assessment Instrument (CFAI) and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) once a year during the junior middle school period. Our results showed that both family function and adolescent depressive symptoms were stable in Grade 7 and Grade 8, but in Grade 9, family function increased and depressive symptoms declined. Furthermore, we found that the family function in Grade 7 negatively influenced depressive symptoms of adolescents in Grade 8, while adolescent depressive symptoms in Grade 8 negatively impacted subsequent family function in Grade 9, namely there was a circular effect between family function and adolescent depressive symptoms. These findings suggest that the associations between family function and adolescents' depressive symptoms are dynamic and time-dependent. Our study contributes to the intervention aimed at the reduction of adolescent depressive symptoms from the family perspective.

“…Good family functioning can promote adolescent self-esteem ( Shi et al, 2017 ), reducing depressive symptoms ( Lorenzo-Blanco et al, 2016 ). Self-esteem plays a mediating role in family functioning and mental health ( Man et al, 2017 ; KavehFarsani et al, 2020 ). Based on these aforementioned findings, then, we proposed our second hypothesis as follows:…”

In consideration of family system theory, the vulnerability model of depression, and the stress buffering model of social support, the current study examined the effect of family functioning on adolescent depression, the mediating effect of self-esteem, and the moderating effect of peer relationships. A sample of Chinese adolescents (n = 562, 47.15% male, 52.85% female, mean age 14.33 years, SD = 1.81 years) completed questionnaires regarding family functioning, depression, self-esteem, and peer relationships. The results showed that: (1) family functioning had a significant negative predictive effect on adolescent depression; (2) self-esteem plays a mediating role between family functioning and adolescent depression; and (3) peer relationships have a moderating effect on the relationship between self-esteem and adolescent depression, supporting the moderated mediation model. These results reveal the influence mechanism of family functioning on adolescent depression and have implications for adolescent depression intervention.

“…Studies have suggested that children who have family support, good coping strategies, and emotional security are likely to have a positive body image and greater resilience thus decreasing depressive symptoms. 35, 36 Moreover, we observed that few of our obese participants with depressive symptoms had developed unhealthy eating habits. “Limited eating” was reported among a few female obese children, that is, they used to share the majority of their lunch with their school friends.…”

Background: Obesity is a growing health problem across the globe. Obesity and psychological well-being have been explored in the Indian adolescent and adult population. However, their association has not been explored in Indian obese school children. Aims: The primary objective of this study is, therefore, to analyze body image dissatisfaction (BID), depression, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in obese and normal-weight children and to compare these factors between the 2 groups. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 100 obese and 100 normal-weight children from Mumbai, between 10 and 12 years of age were recruited by simple random technique. The BID was assessed using Stunkard’s Silhouette Figure Rating Scale. Depressive symptoms were evaluated with the Mood and Feelings Questionnaire: Short Version and HRQOL was examined using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. The statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS statistical software version 24 (SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL USA). Results: The mean body mass index of the normal-weight children was 15.76 ± 1.4 kg/m 2 and 26.62 ± 3.1 kg/m 2 for obese. All obese children demonstrated BID, 54% were depressed and only 33% demonstrated a very good HRQOL. Intergroup analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in the obese group for BID, depression, and HRQOL, where P < .05. Conclusion: Obese school children are more prone to BID, higher depressive symptoms, and poor HRQOL than normal-weight school children. Thus, it demands a multimodal approach in preventing chronic psychological related problems in obese children.
