The aORs for any psychiatric diagnosis were (2.66 [2.54\u20132.78]) for mothers, (1.95 [1.86\u20132.04]) for fathers, and (4.50 [4.24\u20134.79]) for both parents. When both parents had any psychiatric diagnosis, the highest risk was for MD diagnosed at the age of 5\u201312\u00a0years (7.66 [6.60\u20138.89]); versus at 13\u201318\u00a0years (4.13 [3.85\u20134.44]) or 19\u201325\u00a0years (3.37 [2.78\u20134.07]). A stronger association with parental psychopathology and offspring MD was seen among boys than girls, especially among 13\u201319\u00a0years and 19\u201325\u00a0years.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S0033291725000662_sec4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Parental psychiatric disorders, including those diagnosed before offspring birth, were associated with offspring MD, indicating potential genetic and environmental factors in the development of the disorder.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291725000662","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,26]],"date-time":"2025-03-26T10:40:46Z","timestamp":1742985646000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Parental psychiatric disorders and age-specific risk for offspring major depression: Finnish nationwide register-based study"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6126-5561","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Subina","family":"Upadhyaya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Sucksdorff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miina","family":"Koskela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keely","family":"Cheslack-Postava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alan S.","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andre","family":"Sourander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0033291725000662_r52","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-006X.70.5.1075"},{"key":"S0033291725000662_r22","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"137","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.clinpsy.3.022806.091444","article-title":"Prevalence, comorbidity, and service utilization for mood disorders in the United States at the beginning of the twenty-first century","volume":"3","author":"Kessler","year":"2007","journal-title":"Annual Review of Clinical Psychology"},{"key":"S0033291725000662_r26","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"359","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaac.2016.02.013","article-title":"Gestational exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and offspring psychiatric disorders: A national register-based study","volume":"55","author":"Malm","year":"2016","journal-title":"Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry"},{"key":"S0033291725000662_r51","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
