HOW CHILDREN WITH PARENTS SUFFERING FROM MENTAL HEALTH DISTRESS SEARCH FOR 'NORMALITY' AND AVOID STIGMA To be or not to be ... is not the question

Sammendrag

Using data from in-depth interviews with 20 children, this study finds that children with parents suffering from mental health distress struggle hard to present themselves as normal and equal among their peer group. The study shows how they avoid stigma in their presentation of self in everyday life. All the children in this study, regardless of age or parents suffering, are active participants and impression managers in and of their own lives. The authors question whether their active responsibility for their own and their families well-being becomes too heavy a burden and should be moved from childrens private sphere into public arenas such as schools or social and healthcare services.
