Kids who are physically abused and neglected in their childhood, there chances of being engulfed by depression are 59 percent higher, a new study reflects.
This reflection is really appalling because we all know that the trend of physical abuse against kids is constantly mounting all round the world, which include both physical as well as mental torture. At the same time we must not forget that depression is also becoming deep-rooted not only among adults but among small kids as well. In addition, if we look at the whole scenario in the light of this report, then saying that this much of rise in depression cases among kids can be attributed to such kinds of abuse would also not be an irrational notion.
Therefore, strong measures should be taken to nip the evil in the bud so that some hidden black sheep may not turn children lives into hell, making them prone to depression.
