In a study that might surprise, well, perhaps only the researchers, youth who identify as goths are more likely to be depressed.

The study, published in The Lancet Psychiatry, found that British 15-year-olds who identified strongly with the goth subculture—members of whom can typically be identified by their dark clothes and vampiric makeup—were about three times more likely to suffer from clinical depression and five times as likely to engage in self-harm before age 18.

“Our study does not show that being a goth causes depression or self-harm, but rather that some young goths are more vulnerable to developing these conditions,” says lead author Dr Lucy Bowes from the University of Oxford. (Time)
