    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Psychology
    • Mental Health

    Background:

    • Parental bonding is crucial in early development.
    • Disruptions in parental relationships may influence mental health outcomes.
    • Bipolar affective disorder (BAD) is a severe mental illness with complex etiology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between parental bonding and bipolar affective disorder.
    • To compare parental characteristics reported by patients with BAD and general practice patients.
    • To explore potential links between parental bonding and illness severity in BAD patients.

    Main Methods:

    • The Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) was used.
    • Data were collected from 58 patients diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder.
    • A control group of 100 general practice patients was included for comparison.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences in reported parental characteristics were found between the BAD patient group and the general practice group.
    • Among female patients with BAD, a significant association was observed between reports of poor parental bonding and a higher number of hospitalizations.
    • No such association was found in male patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Parental bonding characteristics, as measured by the PBI, do not appear to differ between individuals with bipolar affective disorder and the general population.
    • Poor parental bonding may be a contributing factor to increased illness severity, specifically higher hospitalization rates, in female patients with bipolar affective disorder.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the gender-specific impact of early life experiences on the course of bipolar affective disorder.
