Having a mentally challenged child in a family brings them a lot of pressure.
Research suggests these pressures place family members at an increased risk of developing mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, as well as placing significant stress on familial and social relationships.
Having a disabled child may also affect parents’ allocation of time and financial resources to their healthy and unhealthy children, their parenting practices, their expectations of healthy siblings in terms of achievement, responsibility, and short- and long-term contributions to the household.
In under developed countries still another noted catastrophe is the father leave the family for ever putting all the blame to the mother and her horoscope.
To summarize, three things happens for sure:
- One family member has to quit the job to look after the kid. The financial balance is broken.
- Treatment and associated expenses will be larger.
- Life will be under pressure
