Mothers with serious mental illness: when symptoms decline does parenting improve?

A study to examine whether mothers with serious mental illness improve parenting when symptoms decline is conducted. Results from three analyses suggested that mothers with initially higher levels of symptoms reported higher levels of parenting stress and lower levels of nurturance and that decline in symptoms was associated with reduction in parenting stress and increase in nurturance over time.
