YEESH.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out the headline actually meant the <em>reverse<\/em> of that. Time Magazine&#8217;s report on a study Dr. Yann Le Strat implies that <strong>girls who marry before the age of 18 have a &#8220;41% increased risk of&#8230; depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and alcohol and drug addiction.&#8221; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><\/em>Seems to make quite the case for casual dating until your later years, I&#8217;d say. Although Dr. Le Strat did not make any assumptions why this psychological issues might arise, it&#8217;s safe to say that it may be due to the stress marriage puts on a couple, the high levels of responsibility to maintain a marriage (especially before you are even legally allowed to drink alcohol or rent a car!), and the very real possibility that infidelity will occur when you marry the first person you sleep with.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this study was the first of its kind and it will surely take much more research to find out if there is just a correlation or if there is actual causation, but for no we&#8217;d suggest not to risk it.
