A Study On The Impacts Of Parental Separation On The Mental Well-Being Of Adolescents

Abstract

More than a million kids experience their parents' divorce each year. Everyone engaged in a divorce suffers irreversible damage, but the children are particularly hard hit. The majority of the time, it affects people's quality of life temporarily and puts them "on a downward trajectory from which they might never fully recover," despite the fact that it has been shown to be beneficial for some people in some situations.

This study looks to discover the drawn out impacts of parental separation on young adult mental change and wellbeing as well as how much these impacts can be credited to parental mental pain.Information was gathered from secondary sources. The outcome factors were three types of scholastic issues, subjective well-being, and signs of anxiety and despair. The prevalence of teenage disorders was observed to increase with parental divorce, as well as their mean levels and variations. The idea of "double exposure" effects is supported by the separate contributions of parental distress and divorce to teenage distress. When demographic considerations were taken into account, effects generally persisted. Divorce's long-term consequences on depressive and anxiety symptoms were more pronounced in girls than in boys. On various grown-up results, including mental health, life status, health conduct, informal communities and backing, pessimistic life altering situations, and relational issues, the drawn out impacts of parental separation were evaluated.
