<br />
The levels <strong>of</strong> <strong>marital</strong> <strong>quality</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>depressive</strong> <strong>symp<strong>to</strong>ms</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
mo<strong>the</strong>rs who received treatment for depression were<br />
consistently less optimal than <strong>the</strong> levels for nondepressed<br />
mo<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
Treating mo<strong>the</strong>rs’ <strong>depressive</strong> <strong>symp<strong>to</strong>ms</strong> did not improve <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
<strong>marital</strong> <strong>quality</strong> <strong>and</strong> mo<strong>the</strong>r-<strong>child</strong> attachment security <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
level <strong>of</strong> mo<strong>the</strong>rs not suffering from depression.<br />
Future studies are needed <strong>to</strong> examine if <strong>marital</strong> <strong>and</strong> family<br />
focused treatment allow depressed mo<strong>the</strong>rs being treated<br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>of</strong>fspring <strong>to</strong> experience similar levels <strong>of</strong> <strong>marital</strong><br />
<strong>quality</strong> <strong>and</strong> mo<strong>the</strong>r-<strong>child</strong> attachment as nondepressed<br />
mo<strong>the</strong>rs <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>child</strong>ren.
