Article Synopsis
- A parenting style characterized by high control and low nurturing is linked to mental disorders like schizophrenia, but its effect on illness severity over time hasn't been thoroughly studied.
- In a study assessing 84 participants from the AESOP-10 study, their views on their parents' bonding styles during their first episode of psychosis were evaluated.
- Results showed that those who perceived their fathers as caring had better functioning after 10 years, while those with uncaring and controlling parenting didn't display significantly worse illness outcomes, suggesting better parental bonding may aid functioning but not necessarily alleviate symptom severity.
