INTELLIGENCE IN CHILDREN WHOSE EITHER PARENT IS TREATED FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA
Dr. S. Anuradha
Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder that generally appears in late adolescence or early adulthood. However it can emerge in any time in life. Evidence suggests that the children whose parents are treated for schizophrenia show intellectual impairment, however very few previous studies have measured these areas. The current study looks into the difference in the IQ levels of these children when compared to normal children with parents without any psychiatric problems. The study consists of 60 participants (30 children in study group, 30 children in control group). The Binet Kamat Test for Mental Ability was used. The results indicate that there is a significant higher level of IQ among the children whose parents are not treated for psychiatric problems. (t=-15.694, Sig. =0.000). This study opens up a forum for the practioners to look into the intervention programs for these children
