Article Synopsis
- A study examined how parental mental health (anxiety and depression) affects their reports of their adolescents' anxiety symptoms in a sample of 337 families.
- Significant correlations were found between adolescent self-reports and parent ratings of anxiety, with mother-adolescent correlation at r = .30 and father-adolescent at r = .25.
- Higher levels of maternal and paternal depression were linked to increased parent-reported anxiety symptoms in adolescents, highlighting the importance of considering parental mental health in understanding and treating adolescent anxiety.
