Girls Early Puberty Linked to Depression

By BrainPhysics Staff, Tue, January 04, 2011

A study shows that experiencing puberty early in life can lead to greater risk of depression in girls:

"Evidence suggests girls are now going through puberty earlier than before – with improved nutrition and high levels of pollution suggested as possible causes.

Early puberty puts girls at greater risk of breast cancer and other problems because they are exposed to adult female hormones for longer.

Now research conducted by University of Bristol and the University of Cambridge has found a link between when a girl first menstruated and symptoms of depression."
