Background of the Study

Depression is not just a medical matter. It's a family one, too. The behaviors and mood of

a depressed person affect the whole family. There's the irritability, which sets off conflicts and

derails family dynamics. The negative thought patterns, which become a prism of pessimism for

everyone. The withdrawal that literally disrupts relationships and breeds wholesale feelings of

rejection. There are major responsibilities that get displaced. There is a general burden of stress

And yet, families can be major forces of care, comfort, even cure. They are crucial to proper

recognition and treatment of the disorder, not just at the beginning but throughout. They are the

factor caregivers, willingly or not. They contribute powerfully to the emotional atmosphere the

depressed person inhabits, and so can be agents of recovery. (REFERENCE)

The quality of our lives depends upon the quality of our relationships with others.

Relationships are the source of so much of our happiness and success, but they can also be the

cause of our pain and despair. And when we have problems with our primary relationships, it's

difficult to find joy in anything else.

Based on the research from the field of relationship psychology repeatedly shows a

strong correlation between depression and marital dissatisfaction in both directions. In other

words, relationship problems contribute to depression, and depression contributes to relationship

problems.

For many people, it's difficult to accept the possibility that depression is the real problem. That's

because depression negatively distorts your perception and makes satisfaction with an otherwise

healthy relationship more difficult. (REFERENCE)

Depression envelops your world with a dark cloud of fog that fills your life with doubt

and despair. It influences your thinking and energy and makes it almost impossible to enjoy

anything in your life. Because depression affects your confidence and self-esteem, your

interpretations of relations with others becomes skewed. You question and criticize yourself and

become highly sensitive to criticism. Depression saps your motivation and energy level and

makes you question your worthiness at work/school or in relationships. (REFERENCES)

This study is to elucidate the meaning of major depression in family life from the

viewpoint of all parents’ background. Major depression according to Diagnostic and Statistical

Manual of Mental Disorders is common and may appear repeatedly over several years, and

affects family life. Depression in parents has a negative impact on family function and children's

health; however, studies regarding the deeper understanding of major depression in family life

are lacking. (REFERENCE)
