Parent Mental Health Problems

Depression is common among parents of children with asthma, expressing itself in a variety of ways, through impairing parental coping with daily life stressors and with the challenges of the child’s asthma. Parental depression is associated with more asthma symptoms, increased healthcare use, poor asthma management, and missed medical appointments (Avcil et al. 2018; Rioseco et al. 2017; Rodriguez et al. 2017; Wood et al. 2015). It also contributes to negative affect and irritability, hopelessness, anxiety, and distressed relationships between the parent and child and increases the likelihood of authoritarian, hostile, and rejecting styles of parenting. Some depressed parents, especially those with accompanying anxiety, involve the child within their anxieties and may become overly protective. Parental depression can also directly stress the child by causing worry about the parent’s safety.
