Is depression in young girls a deciding factor in teenage pregnancy?

Posted by: Uticopa in teenage pregnancy, depression on Jul 27, 2009

We read a lot in the media about the rise in teenage pregnancies in the UK and the subsequent psychological distress - not just to the new mother but to the whole family.

Everyone has an opinion.  You only have to read the hundreds of blogs on various sites to see that everyone, not just professionals, has a view on the problem.  Inevitably, the elderly - who have seen it all before in one form or another - place the problem fairly and squarely on society as a whole.  ‘Lack of respect for their elders' is a common refrain. ‘Young people have no respect for authority, don't understand or care about the consequences, no longer bother to get married first, so it's their own fault.....' or words to that effect.
