Family ties: could Parents' personalities hold clues to mood disorder risks?

NCT ID NCT07679204

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether parents of people with bipolar II disorder or major depressive disorder have certain personality traits (called Type D, which involves negative emotions and social inhibition) and lower life satisfaction. Researchers compare these parents to parents of healthy individuals, as well as to patients themselves. The goal is to better understand family patterns that might help design future support programs.
