Abstract

Depression is a common mental disorder among adolescents. As the main setting for adolescent growth and life, the family environment plays a crucial role in influencing their depressive emotions. The article reviews the impact of three family structures: nuclear families, extended families, and single-parent families, along with four parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent/permissive, and neglectful/indifferent, on adolescent depression, focusing on the impact of different family environments on adolescent depressive emotions. By examining the influence of different family environments on adolescent depression, the article provides insights for developing more effective family support and education strategies aimed at preventing the occurrence of depressive emotions and negative behaviors in adolescents.
