Older adults who feel criticized by loved ones are more likely to develop depression

78% Informative
New research published in Translational Psychiatry suggests older adults who perceive criticism from close family or friends are more likely to develop symptoms of depression over time.
The findings come from a large 17-year study of adults aged 50 and older living in England .
The researchers found that frequent or even occasional criticism predicted a higher risk of depression down the line.
The more people someone felt criticized by, the higher their risk of depression became.
The study has limitations.
The measurement of criticism was based on self-report, which reflects participants’ own perceptions rather than objective behaviors from others.
People with more negative thinking styles were more likely to report feeling criticized and also more prone to depression.
