abstract="• A significant proportion of fathers living with their natural, adopted, step or foster children experience mental illness.; • Psychiatric illness among fathers can have a devastating impact on children's wellbeing, and even milder forms of paternal mental illness can have serious developmental effects on children.; • While several pathways linking paternal mental illness with poor child outcomes have been identified, fathers' impaired parenting is an important, potentially malleable factor.; • Clinicians can assist fathers with mental illness and their families by proactively inquiring about children and by exploring fathering-focused psychological support. © 2012 Australasian Medical Publishing Co.
