Mentally ill mothers of young children, contrasted with well mothers, reported greater stress in their own lives, and in those of their husbands and parental families. Within each group of mothers, there was a different relationship between life-stress and psychological symptoms. Within the mentally ill group, stress was associated with both diagnosis and chronicity.
