IntroductionChildren of patients with bipolar disorder are at increased risk of developing psychopathology and psychosocial difficulties.ObjectivesTo understand the emotional experiences of adult children of mothers with bipolar disorder.MethodQualitative study, using in-depth semi-directed interviews with open-ended questions, sample closed by saturation information criteria, content analysis, discussion under psychodynamic concepts.ResultsFrom interviewees’ reports, it can be seen that offspring's experiences emotional vulnerability, such as directions given by early exposure to self injurious behaviour, psychiatric hospitalizations, routine absences from home and consequent perception of helplessness, especially in periods of the mother's crisis. The findings suggest that for the children the insecurity to assume the precociously inverted responsibility regarding the need of care to mother seems to experience by them as an entrapment to the care of the mother, for the effort they make to keep them alive, with an emotional burden due to both impaired childhood and adolescent.ConclusionIt was analyzed the assumption that the evolution of reactive psychological stages regarding the mother affected by a mental illness marked by bipolarity manifestations, alternating with phases of the normality of psychic manifestations, would follow the evolution of the oscillating psychological stages of his/her own mother, which minimizes often both the disease and the treatment during the phases of remission of manifestations.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Communication about diagnosis and medical treatment for children suffering from life-threatening illnesses is complex. It is a primary step in involving underage patients and families in care and lays the foundation for obtaining parental permission and patient assent for treatment. In practice child participation in care is often difficult to obtain due to patients' different and sometimes fluctuating preferences, but also parents' protective strategies. Physicians may be susceptible to parental wishes to limit information and feel uncomfortable discussing issues related to uncertainty of cure with patients. A qualitative study in Romanian paediatric oncology units was conducted to explore children's involvement from the perspectives of parents and oncologists. Interviews with participants discussed 18 patient cases. Data were transcribed and thematic analysis was used to interpret and mine patients' involvement during treatment. Different facets of patient participation were identified: restricting, widening and enhancing involvement. A fourth category, unintentional involvement, occurred for all patients due to children's observations during long-term hospitalisations and access to Internet. Uncertainty overarched parental attitudes regarding the extent to which children should be included. Physicians usually complied with parental wishes to limit involvement, but together with parents involved patients at least in a practical way. Adults' protective attitude may backfire, as adolescents' online searches often expose patients to worse-case scenarios. Further research should acknowledge the hazards of restricted diagnosis disclosure and develop clinician tools to support families in communicating with patients. This should be paralleled by physician efforts to elicit patients' needs regarding participation.
