Parents whose children suffer from these illnesses often ask themselves, "What did I do wrong?" Self-blaming is not appropriate, since the causes are complex and never due to any single factor. Research indicates that many mental illnesses have a biological component which makes a child susceptible to the disorder. Feelings of guilt about a child´s mental illness are often as inappropriate as feelings of guilt about other childhood illnesses or about inherited health problems.
