CHICAGO -- Researchers say they've shown for the first time that treating a mother's depression can help prevent depression and anxiety disorders in her child, a provocative finding with potentially big public health implications.
The study was small, but the researchers and other experts called it convincing and said it illustrates how important a parent's well-being is to a child.
"It's a very dramatic and important finding," said co-author Dr. A. John Rush, a psychiatry professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
NO SHIT, SHERLOCK! A dramatic and important finding? It took you HOW long to realize this?
Bloody retards. Any moron could have figured that one out. Honestly. This planet is full of brainless people.
