In the article ‘Ante-partum and postpartum exposure to maternal depression: different effects on different adolescent outcomes,’ published by Hay et al, generally aimed at exploring and addressing the problem of depression among the members of the community. The researchers engaged in the research work on this particular study topic by approaching it on the basis of maternal behavior and circumstances, as they connect to depressive conditions in their own lives and the life of every other person in the community. Depending on the revealed information, it appears that, these researchers employed a unique approach strategy that targeted addressing of the maternal depressive problems through the focusing on intrinsic environments of the child’s mother, that is, the intrauterine environment. Worthy noting is that the research approach is a broad one that integrated diverse interrelated concepts of depressive conditions that are contributing factors to healthy development of the early developmental stages that begins from the foetal developmental stage through adolescent to adulthood stage (Butler, 2000). Evidences from different research sources have shown that depression is among the top ten leading health problems that the global community is grappling with for an everlasting solution. The article emphasizes that depression is a common disorder repeatedly reported and non-reported to healthcare centers. There are reports which show that, depression is a most common psychological condition in the world by indicating an estimated lifetime prevalence of about 16 % of the adult populations. Out of the total world population, it is also indicated that about 12 % of the depressed persons are men, while around 25 % are depressed women found in the western countries (Campbell et al, 1992). The comparison of these values indicates depressed women are twice as many as the number of depressed men. Such results implication is that, women are at higher risks of getting depressed than men. This discrepancy may be accounted for in a number of ways, of which traumatic conditions during pregnancy and then after giving birth are some of the suggested contributing factors. The depressing conditions are also linked to child developmental behavior and abilities. Furthermore, other data and information that bring worry to the world’s population is that, at any given time of carrying a single survey, 10 % to 22 % of individuals in the population portray symptoms and signs of depression (Butler, 2000). Statistical data from different organizations show that young people are not safe from depressive conditions. A research carried out at the University of Michigan depicted that juveniles and young people are at high risks, and most of them suffer from severe depressions. They argued and consented that depression among the young persons becomes more pronounce with increasing maturity age. According to the research, about 5% of the teenager population experience depressing problems which is evidenced through numerous emotional feelings of the body. However, they noted that prevalence among the juvenile is likely to be increased in a population of children suffering from mental retardations condition and developmental disord
