Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Despite consistent evidence that mental illness runs in families, intergenerational transmission of risk of mental illness is rarely considered in clinical practice. Neither preventive programs for children of parents with mental illness are usually implemented in care, nor supportive programs for parenting. Furthermore, parents with mental illness are not always aware of how their disorder may impact the well-being of their children. To date, the needs for counseling, care and research in parents with mental illness and family members of people with mental illness are unclear. Therefore, this prospective qualitative interview study aims to gain insights into the perceptions and experiences of (future) parents with mental illness, partners and family members of people with mental illness about risk for and resilience against mental illness in (future) children, as well as their needs for counseling, care and research.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

(Future) parents with (a partner with) mental illness in the mood-psychosis spectrum

The following participants will be included: (Future) parents with (a partner with) mental illness in the mood-psychosis spectrum (psychotic disorder, bipolar disorder, severe depression); ≥ 18 years old.

If including (future) parents with mental illness and their partners will turn out to be difficult given our timeframe, we will mitigate this by additionally including family members of people with mental illness, e.g. siblings or grandparents.
