Abstract:

The aim of the study was to discover parents‘ experiences in coping with their children‘s mental suffering. This is an ethnographic study. The data was analysed by the use of content analysis. Three categories were identified: 1. Coping with everyday situations 2. Understanding of mental suffering as a living situation; 3. Fear of the future. Mental suffering imposes situations on families that need to be quickly resolved and arrangements in an attempt to balance the family system. Family members live with mental suffering as if it were a chronic disease, and seek coping mechanisms for everyday situations. Finally, they fear the future of their ill relatives and feel abandoned by public policies. Research in this field is required in order to assess the impact of this issue on the people, institutions and public policies involved.
