Table 4 shows findings from a longitudinal cohort study investigating the risk of offspring being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) by age 18, depending on parental diagnosis.

Table 4: Offspring diagnoses of ADHD and MDD by age 18

	ADHD		Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
	% of offspring diagnosed	Number of families	% of offspring diagnosed	Number of families
Both parents diagnosed	32.4	150	28.2	120
One parent diagnosed	12.1	5,400	9.8	6,200
Neither parent diagnosed	2.5	50,000	1.8	50,000

Outline two suggestions a psychologist might make about how these findings could be used in practice.
