Depressive symptoms in young children appear not to be linked with adult outcomes, according to new Canadian research. A study of more than 2000 people looked at depressive symptoms from infanthood to early twenties, and found that people with high depression between the age of 7 and 17 received less social support as young adults, but were not more likely to be affected by other problems such as binge drinking or online harassment.
