In terms of families, depression is relatively high in divorced but living separately even not divorced (24.1%), cohabiting (21.0%), single mothers who are divorced (20.0%), and single mothers never have been married (17.5%) depression, while mothers living with their legal families (13.6%) had the lowest incidence of depression, which was statistically significant (p=0.007).
