I figured the indifferent or indulgent parenting styles would be the ones with more depression due to the low demandingness and not much guidance.
The results from this study affects me and my sister. We grew up with authoritative parents, they never neglected us they just wanted us to make the right choices and me and her both have depression. This could possible have to do with the parenting style we were raised
