A new study has warned that families who frequently move houses have children who are at increased risk of developing depression later in life.
According to the research, children who move once between the ages of 10 and 15 have a 41% higher chance of developing depression in adulthood compared to children who do not move.
Moreover, children who move two or more times during this age period have a 61% higher risk of developing depression.
Researchers noted that children living in impoverished areas showed a 10% increase in the likelihood of developing depression later in life.
The study concluded that a stable home environment during childhood is crucial in preventing future mental health issues.
