There is a clear and deep connection between the kind of upbringing a child gets and his mental health, and this has been lucidly depicted by a study conducted in Australia.

The Australian Institute of Family Studies research has shown that those experiencing double the degree of anxiety or depression while in youth also reported unhealthy and abusive nurturing.

Contrary to that, good parenting or upbringing demonstrated a number of benefits concerning social or other factors, which in turn helped against development of mental health problems in kids.

"Children who grew up with supportive parents showed higher levels of personal strengths, social competence, trust and tolerance of others and an overall trust in authorities like the police or government”, said AIFS lead researcher, Diana Smart.

With added support and building a good rapport with kids always reaps healthy results in kids in terms of their mental health.

People, belonging to age group 23-24 were involved in the study as volunteers, and study reported that 23% spoke of various forms of mistreatment experienced by them in childhood.

Volunteers with a lot of support experienced less depression and anxiety problems in youth in comparison to the ones who witnessed abusive upbringing.
