"Depressed people may be just especially in need of the intimacy, the emotional closeness and the social support that marriage can provide ... if you start out happy, you don't have as far to go," Williams said.
On the other hand, if you're not depressed, marriage could have the opposite effect, Frech said.
People who were happy before getting married and end up in a marriage plagued by distance or conflict -- qualities associated with a depressed spouse -- might be better off single.
不过弗雷希说,对没有抑郁症的人来说,婚姻可能会导致相反的结果。如果一个人婚前很幸福,却误入不幸的婚姻之中,夫妻间隔膜很深,争吵不断,那么最好独身。而如果夫妻双方有一人是抑郁症患者,这种情况常常出现。
"It seems right to say that people who are not depressed are at risk, that if they marry a depressed person this could be a bad deal for them," Frech said.
弗雷希说,“似乎可以这样说,那些没有抑郁症的人处于危险之中。如果他们和一位抑郁症患者结婚,那么对他们来说这样的婚姻就比较糟糕。”
