Research was carried out in Estonia to investigate the depressive symptoms and emotional states of 151 mothers and 57 fathers of disabled children, and 101 mothers and 55 fathers of nondisabled children. Results show that parents, especially mothers of disabled children, have significantly more negative emotional states and also significantly more depressive symptoms. Significant differences in depression symptoms between the disabled and control parent group were found in most symptoms. Parents in the control group were significantly more happy, glad, satisfied, proud, grateful, happy for their child, pleased, and hopeful.
