Almost a quarter of Australian children with one parent with mental illness, in the light of new studies, published in the January issue of the Psychiatric Bulletin.
Of these, just over 1% (approximately 60,000 children) have one parent who has a severe mental illness such as schizophrenia, depression or manic depression.
The prevalence of mental disorders in the Australian parent families was developed by a group of scientists from Australia, Charles Sturt University and Latrobe University.
Until now, There are some estimates of the number of children in families suffering from mental illness of parents in Australia. Instead, the policy that the data from North and South America, Australia or small budget.
In this study, researchers used three methods to assess the prevalence of mental illness of their parents. First, the figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics study of mental health in the family characteristics of studies, assessment of the population.
According to this assessment, 23.3% of all children in Germany, have parents with a substance which is not a mental illness. A smaller proportion - 1.3% - whose father is severe mental illness.
The second approach has a record of all users of mental health in the state of Victoria in the period from 2003 to 2004 to 38,455 people in total. This suggests that 7829 users (20.4%) had children.
In the latter approach, the survey population of about 700 8 - 12 years, children in three Australian states. Of these, 14.4% reported that at least one parent with mental illness.
Writing in the Psychiatric Bulletin, the authors of the study, said: "Unfortunately, mental illness, but the parents have no guarantee of bad outcomes for children, parents, most with severe disabilities were less sensitive and responsible parenting, mental illness is much higher than that of progeny, insecure children's institutions, and lower quality of the child's parents relations.
"The estimates nearly 60,000 children, parents with serious mental illness in Australia is likely to be very precise in these figures are extrapolated to the conditions of Australia's 14,403 children, the parents of Victoria with severe mental illness. That said, large numbers of children who may be under threat, because their parents have a serious mental illness. "
The authors believe that their new estimates provide important information for policy development and mental health programs. She said: "This test provides information to governments and organizations to promote the mental health of children, many of whom could be considered living in families with a high risk."
