Parental conflict and mental health
May is Mental Health Awareness Month
In this month newsletter, we want to explore the connection between parental conflict and mental health.
Understanding the relationship between parental conflict and mental health is vital for creating effective interventions and support systems for families. Parents who face high levels of conflict often report experiencing increased depressive symptoms, such as persistent fatigue, difficulty concentrating on tasks or making decisions, and heightened anxiety This is especially true when conflicts are frequent and unresolved Mental health issues can both trigger and stem from parental conflict, highlighting the intricate link between emotional well-being and family dynamics.
It is not just adults' mental health that suffers due to family conflict Children exposed to ongoing and intense parental disputes are at a greater risk of developing anxiety and depression Continuous exposure to such conflict can affect child's sense of security and self-worth.
