Young adults’ well-being has been shown to be negatively impacted by parental divorce. However, as research utilizing organized clinical assessments is lacking, it is uncertain whether this conclusion is therapeutically applicable. The purpose of the “Parental divorce is associated with an increased risk to develop mental disorders in women” study by Schaan, Schulz, Schächinger, and Vögele was to determine whether mental health issues are more prevalent in young adults whose parents have divorced (Schaan, Schulz, Schächinger, & Vögele) Children of divorced and non-divorced parents were compared in terms of parental care, social connectivity, chronic stress, and traumatic events.
For the children and parents involved, a divorce between the parents is a significant life event that could be stressful. As a result, many kids now find it difficult to adjust to the divorce of their parents. Compared to young people with non-divorced parents, young adults with separated parents had an increased chance of disorders (Schaan, Schulz, Schächinger, & Vögele). Individuals from dysfunctional families reported isolation, childhood trauma, adjustment difficulties, connection anxiety, psychological stress, and fewer parenting skills found in participants from non-divorced households.
To summarize, the “Parental divorce is associated with an increased risk to develop mental disorders in women” study by Schaan, Schulz, Schächinger, and Vögele published in Journal of affective disorders (2019) is concerning that children from divorced families are more prone to psychological stress, loneliness, adjustment difficulties, connection anxieties. It emphasizes the value of preventative initiatives and psychosocial support throughout the parent’s cutting phase. To help families better look after their children during and after their divorce, parental consent on good caregiving is required. The lack of parental treatment, financial and emotional aggression, emotional dysregulation, depression, chronic stress, connection avoidance, and anxiety were also linked to parental divorce. The findings emphasize the necessity for adequate preventative initiatives to assist children during this difficult time.
