Abstract

A 3-wave prospective panel model was used to examine the idea that depression erodes an individual's social resources and that lack of social resources contributes to depression. The data are from 313 depressed patients assessed at intake to treatment and at 1-year and 10-year follow-ups. There was little or no evidence for a social selection effect in which depression contributed to a decline in family or extrafamily resources. In contrast, there was evidence for a social causation effect in which family and extrafamily resources contributed to changes in depression. These findings imply that family and extrafamily resources can contribute to a decline in depression and that depressed individuals' social resources do not necessarily deteriorate over time.
