Depression is different for Dads

Kevin Shafer, Ph.D., is a professor of Social Work at Brigham Young University. 1 out of 11 adults suffers a major depressive episode each year. That news comes from the National Institute for Mental Health that shows depression on the rise. New studies suggest that this suffering is not exclusive to adolescents. Dr. Kevin Shafer and his associates wanted to see just how much of an impact a depressed parent might impact an adolescent and their development and he joins us now in studio. He shares his research on Dads and depression.
