Abstract

(K-SADS-PL). The rate of psychiatric disorders was compared across children in the two groups. The prevalence psychiatric of disorders was high in both groups of offspring. Nearly half of the children (45% STAR*D, 43%US/Canada) had a current or lifetime psychiatric disorder, including behavioral (29%, 24%), anxiety (18%, 20%), and mood disorders (19%, 16%). Both studies had an even distribution of gender and a mean age of 12 years. This study demonstrates strikingly similar rates of psychiatric illness in children of offspring of depressed parents in two independent studies; drawn from different research teams, countries and ethnic groups.
