title: Lifetime prevalence of psychiatric disorders among parents of children with bipolar I disorder: parental difference.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Evaluation of family system is an important area in the context of child and adolescent mental health. This study aimed to estimate psychiatric disorders in parents of children and adolescents with bipolar I disorder (BID).
  
  
  METHODS
  In this cross-sectional study, during 2012-2013, all of the children and adolescents diagnosed with BID based on Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Present and Lifetime Version were included. All of the parents (both mother and father) were evaluated by Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV-TR.
  
  
  METHODS
  Prevalence rates are reported and independent-sample t-test and chi-square test were used when appropriate.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 108 families were interviewed. 25% of mothers and 33% of fathers met the criteria for at least one psychiatric disorder, with major depressive disorder, BMD, and cluster B personality disorder being more prevalent. Fathers were more likely to receive a dual psychiatric diagnosis. Cluster B personality disorder and substance dependence were more prevalent among fathers while major depressive disorder was more prevalent among mothers.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This study confirmed a higher prevalence of psychiatric disorders in parents of children with BID and emphasizes parental evolution.
