“…30,33,38,39,53,57,76 Furthermore, many children sought to be well-informed regarding their parent's condition and communicated with relevant services. This communication was evident in six conditions, 34,41,49,52,71,73,78,82,85,94 but satisfaction with the information and services received was variable. 33,37,50 Family cohesion, including the parental marital relationship, was also a significant factor in child responses for half of the 10 conditions.…”

Introduction: A significant paucity of literature exists relating to the impact on children of parental neurological disorder, with the exception of multiple sclerosis. The wider literature in this field (parental cancer, depression, alcoholism, HIV/AIDS) exhibits the many potential challenges young people might experience during serious parental illness. Given this, a literature review of parental neurological disorder is long overdue. Methods: This review is structured around the World Health Organisation (WHO) classification of neurological disorders. The WHO identifies 10 common neurological disorders; dementia, epilepsy, headache, multiple sclerosis, neuroinfections, neurological disorders associated with malnutrition, pain associated with neurological disorders, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. A comprehensive search of the MEDLINE database was performed using key terms for each of the 10 conditions. Results for each condition were divided in to "negative", "positive and/or neutral" and "other" child responses. Results: The search yielded a total of 6247 titles, of which 184 underwent a full-text assessment. Sixty-five met all eligibility criteria and were thus included in the review. A number of negative issues emerged across parental conditions including the prevalence of child mood disorders, parent-child role reversal, children's need for information on the parental condition, the importance of family cohesion, the negative effect of parental psychopathology and differences between male and female children. A limited number of positive outcomes were evident in a minority of parental conditions. Outcomes measured and methodologies employed were highly heterogeneous. Conclusion: Children generally respond negatively to parental neurological disorder. Responses varied between neurological disorders, suggesting the need for parental diseasespecific guidance and clinical management where required.

“…Further, children affected by parental brain injury are reported to suffer from post-traumatic stress symptoms more than other children (7). A recent qualitative study of parental brain injury revealed that the children affected by it struggle with both the changed parental role and emotional distancing between the parent and child (14).…”

Psychiatric diagnoses of children affected by their parents’ traumatic brain injury: the 1987 Finnish Birth Cohort study

Background: Children affected by parental traumatic brain injury (TBI) are documented to access more specialised psychiatric services compared to their peers. It remains unknown if the service use indicates psychiatric disorders. Objective: To investigate whether parental TBI increases the overall risk for psychiatric disorders and the risk for specific psychiatric diagnoses in the children affected by parental TBI. Methods: The 1987 Finnish Birth Cohort (n = 59 476) were followed up through national registers from birth to the end of 2008. The diagnoses of cohort members and their parents were obtained from the Care Register of Health Care, provided by the National Institute of Health and Welfare. Results: During the 21-year follow-up, the likelihood for psychiatric diagnoses being assessed in psychiatric care was significantly increased in males with any mental disorder (odds ratio (OR) = 1.43), substance-use-related disorders (OR = 1.71) and behavioural and emotional disorders (OR = 1.75), and in females with disorders of psychological development (OR = 1.85). Conclusions: Children affected by parental TBI are at increased risk for psychiatric disorders: males for externalising disorders and females for developmental disorders. Observed gender interactions in the association between parental TBI and the psychiatric disorders of children warrants further study.
