Specifically, we tested whether: (i) people who report more depressive symptoms are more likely to own a pet; (ii) pet ownership protects against an increase in depressive symptoms over time; (iii) associations differ by symptom type. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Affective Disorders, v.264, p. 35-39 | Publisher: | Elsevier BV | Place of Publication: | Netherlands | ISSN: | 1573-2517 0165-0327 |
