Objectives: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the related factors of depression in mothers bringing their offspring for evaluation or treatment of problematic behaviors.
Methods: Fifty mothers were recruited through their offspring’’s evaluation or treatment for offspring’’s problematic behaviors. Psychological tests battery including Korean Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and the Korean Educational Development Institute-Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children was administered to all mothers and their offspring. Mothers completed Korean version of Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL), and teachers completed Teacher’’s Report Form (TRF). On the basis of the maternal depression, the mothers were divided into two groups.
Results: 1) Among the fifty mothers, 42% of the mothers had depressive disorder, 16% had anxiety disorder, and 42% had no psychiatric disorder. 2) Depressed mothers rated significantly higher in aggressive behaviors, externalizing problems of K-CBCL in their children. 3) Children of depressed mothers had lower score in picture arrangement and coding subtests of KEDI-WISC than those of no psychiatric disorder mothers. 4) After controlling for the total problematic behavior scores of TRF, mother’’s depression is positively correlated with aggressive behaviors, externalizing problems, total problematic behaviors of K-CBCL, and negatively correlated with coding of KEDI-WISC.
Conclusion: Children’’s aggressive behavior, externalizing behavior, total problematic behaviors and low coding score may be associated with mother’’s depression.
