Abstract
Using the HAD scale, anxiety and depression were assessed in 18 mothers of mentally retarded psychotic children and a comparative group of 18 mothers of children with motor handicaps. Anxiety and depression scores were significantly higher among the mothers of the psychotic children, although no definite signs of depression were recorded.
