As part of a study conducted in Finland, scientists analyzed data from more than 500 thousand mothers with children under 12 years old. It turns out that people who have active and healthy parents under 70 years old and who also live nearby (less than 11 km from them) are less likely to suffer from depression.

The mental health of mothers with young children is a critical public health issue. It is known that maternal mental health can affect children’s mental health and social development in many ways.
