Early puberty linked to possible depression in women
December 26, 2017 05:24 PM
Girls who mature at a young age face an increased risk of depression and other problems as adults.
Past research has shown a link between early puberty and teen depression. However, a new Cornell University study of nearly 8,000 women suggests these risks continue far longer.
Girls who started their periods early were more likely to develop depression and aggressive behaviors during adolescence and as young adults.
