Core Tip

Core Tip: This investigation delineates a significant correlation between adolescent major depressive disorder and parental rearing practices, emphasizing the beneficial impact of parental warmth and understanding, in contrast to the adverse consequences of punitive parenting. The study accentuates the mitigating influence of self-efficacy on depressive symptoms, thereby advocating for targeted interventions to enhance these protective factors and promote psychological well-being. Consequently, the research advances a dual-pronged approach, which simultaneously addresses the amelioration of depressive symptoms and cultivates a resilient, supportive milieu for adolescents, thereby fostering enduring psychological health.
