“…Although, as some studies show (Naslund et al, 1985), mothers diagnosed with schizophrenia provide their children with parental care comparable to healthy mothers, there are differences in the mother's response to the signals sent by the child, often already at the stage of understanding them (Davidsen et al, 2015;Singhai et al, 2022). On the other hand, Kasperek-Zomowska et al (2008) notes that mothers with schizophrenia are less likely to hug their children and less likely to play with them.…”

The presented research aimed to determine whether the selected psychological variables are related to the desire to have a child in childless women diagnosed with schizophrenia, to check the differences in terms of these variables between women diagnosed with schizophrenia who declare the will to have a child, and those who do not plan to have one, as well as the comparison of the results obtained in the group of women with no history of psychopathology. 30 women diagnosed with schizophrenia and 30 healthy women participated in the study. The Self-esteem Scale by Rosenberg and the Strength of character VIA-120 by Peterson and Seligman were used. The results indicate differences in self-esteem and selected character strengths between women who want to have a child and those who do not declare such a willingness and between the group of women diagnosed and the comparison group.

Background Parental schizophrenia is a major public health concern that affects both the individual and the family, particularly children. Children with parents diagnosed with schizophrenia tend to experience negative impacts that can hinder their development. This complex condition demands effective therapeutic interventions aimed at improving the mental health and well-being of both the individual and the family. Material and Methods This study aimed to understand possible therapeutic interventions used to address the clinical issues of children with parental schizophrenia. An interpretative phenomenological approach (IPA) was employed to explore the therapeutic approaches taken by mental health professionals (MHPs) in addressing children whose parents are diagnosed with schizophrenia. A sample of 43 participants, including psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers, was interviewed. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed for common themes. Results The findings revealed common themes in interventions aimed at enhancing neurocognitive function and improving behavior through therapy, skills training, and counseling. MHPs also targeted the family through education and positive parenting strategies. The findings emphasized the importance of a comprehensive approach addressing both individual and family aspects. Conclusion MHPs recognized the need for a holistic approach to improve the mental health and well-being of both the individual and the family. This study highlighted the importance of addressing the impact of parental schizophrenia on children and the need for effective therapeutic interventions aimed at improving the mental health and well-being of both the individual and the family.

Women with severe mental illness and pregnancy suffer substantial travails in accessing care for mental and perinatal health. Women with psychotic illnesses such as schizophrenia face higher risks of pregnancy and postnatal complications. Similarly, lack of access to holistic psychiatric care presents particular perils for these women and their children. Tailored care for these mothers-to-be and their babies is needed to prevent and ameliorate health complications, mental and physical. This will require targeted funding of services that connect women with and provide continuity of care.
