Background and purpose: The prevalence of behavioral problems in children with mentally ill parents may be higher compared to children with mentally healthy parents.

Results: Somatic complaints, anxiety and depression, social problems, externalization and internalization scores and also behavioral problems total scores were significantly higher in case group compared to control group (P< 0.05). No significant differences between case group and control group were mentioned with respect to isolation, attention problems, thought problems, antisocial behaviors.
