Abstract
Mothers and fathers of children with drug-resistant epilepsy have diminished HRQoL compared with population norms. Symptoms of anxiety appear to be more common than symptoms of depression. Mothers experienced higher levels of anxiety, but not depression, than fathers and scored lower than fathers on vitality, mental health, and Mental Component Summary of the SF-36. There is a need to identify contributory factors and interventions to ameliorate these difficulties.
