F52. WHO CO-PARENT CHILDREN WITH MOTHERS AND FATHERS WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA OR BIPOLAR DISORDER? CHARACTERIZING INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE CHILDREN TOGETHER WITH INDIVIDUALS WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA OR BIPOLAR DISORDER

摘要

Prior studies have established that partners are similar to each other in many aspects. They correlate positively and strongly on age, social attitudes, and religiosity; correlate moderately on general intelligence, education, and physical attractiveness; and correlate weakly on height, weight, and personality traits. It remains unknown if and how this affects partners of individuals with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. This aspect is clinically relevant when we want to characterize the risk factors for children growing up in families where one parent is living with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the diagnoses of a mental illness, cognitive ability, social functioning and polygenic risk in individuals who have children together with individuals with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder compared to controls.
