Dating Violence and Depression
Introduction
Depression is widely experienced among people across global communities, and is a major contributor in the global burden of disease. As per World Health Organization (WHO) more than 350 million across globe are affected with depression (Marcus, ghi, van Ommeren, Saxena, & Chisholm, 2012). Based on the survey in seventeen countries, every 1 person in 20 people has faced an episode of depression. The problem of depression is even more severe in women. There are various factors that trigger depression among women, such as domestic violence, intimate partner relationships and teen dating violence. As per statistics almost 70% adolescents in US have faced depression and anxiety due to Teen Dating Violence. As per Australian Statistics, one in six female is reported to experience violence from their partners in their teen age (AHRC, 2017). Research suggests that dating violence is significantly related to depression and mental health issues (Temple, et al., 2016). Both men and women suffer from teen dating violence, however, studies suggest that teenage girls comprise a larger group facing teen violence as compared to men.
