Key Points

Question How are adolescent family relationships associated with trajectories of depressive symptoms from adolescence into midlife for women and men?

Findings In this cohort study of 18 185 individuals (9233 females and 8952 males), those who experienced positive adolescent family relationships had significantly lower levels of depressive symptoms from early adolescence to midlife (late 30s to early 40s) than did those who experienced less-positive family relationships.

Meaning The findings suggest an association of early intervention in family relationships during adolescence with better mental health into adulthood and midlife.
