Analysis of the Role of Positive Romantic Relationship Plays on Reducing Depression

Abstract

It is very interesting to notice when we compare the data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the main age of getting depression which is from aged 18 to 24 years old is coincidence with the age of getting into a first love from 15 to 21 years old. So there could be a very high chance for youth with depression to face the situation of making decisions about romantic relationships. The problem has formed those people with depression symptoms might be worried about whether there will be an interaction of symptoms and romantic relationships to cause a bad effect on each side. Those worrying about these problems can lead to anxiety for themselves and their partners who fall in love with them. To prove that a healthy relationship can help reduce depression levels, this study anonymously interviews depressed adolescents in romantic relationships and conducts secondary surveys to draw conclusions. Currently there are not too many studies on the effect of love relationships on depression reduction. It hopes that through the results of this study can reduce the anxiety of depressed patients about entering a romantic relationship, and at the same time, they hope to prove that healthy romantic relationship as a caring method to reduce depression can make patients healthier.
