Did you know? Parents of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) face significantly higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) compared to the general population. Research indicates that up to 30% of these parents experience PTSD symptoms, while over 80% report significant trauma-related symptoms. Additionally, between 25% and 50% of these parents suffer from elevated levels of depression and anxiety, with 30% to 80% experiencing severe psychological distress. Mothers, in particular, are disproportionately affected. This heightened risk is attributed to several factors, including the postpartum period, which coincides with the first surgeries, and the fact that mothers often bear the brunt of caregiving responsibilities. The mental health challenges faced by these parents can adversely impact their ability to care for their children, highlighting the necessity for integrated mental health support within pediatric cardiology care. This could include regular mental health screenings and accessible treatment options to better support these families.
