Can having a unloving father make a woman depressed throughout her life?

Can this be the result of making her feel old and unwanted? Cause of her childhood upbringing?

It could but doesn't have to be, depends on the person and how much she was affected by that

If it's the case for you, then I would recommend you to get some professional help and do something about it

A distant parent can create all kinds of responses in a child. Rejection, low self-value, and a host of other things that could underpin a depression diagnosis. Each case is different.

I do not know. See a counselor whose focus is in this area?

No. Means she'll have daddy issues. But depression is a separate thing.

What are daddy issues exactly?
