However, results of the study found a significant relationship between self-esteem and depression among young mothers in the region, which implies that young mothers who are have a low self-esteem are more likely to be depressed compared to those who have a high self-esteem. Furthermore, the study indicated a significant relationship between domestic violence and depression among young mothers in Karamoja region; this implies that mothers who are domestically abused whether physically or emotionally are more at risk of developing depression compared to their counterparts. | en_US |
