Psychoanalytic/ psychodynamic theories generally emphasize the role of parenting on behavior/personality.
According to this article: "The researchers found a lack of parental support during childhood is associated with increased levels of depressive symptoms and chronic health conditions (such as hypertension, arthritis and urinary problems) in adulthood, and this association persists with increasing age throughout adulthood into early old age."

Parents are the main figures in every child's life. According to the attachment theory, our first deep connections (which are formed with the parent or the care-giver) can have a huge effect on the quality of our lives as well as our mental well-being.
Parenting is considered a key risk factor in the development of early psychopathology. Low levels of sensitive parenting and greater use of harsh discipline have been causally linked to the development of behavioural problems.
There are many researches which have found that a lack of parental support and love during childhood is associated with increased levels of depressive symptoms and chronic health conditions (such as hypertension, arthritis and urinary problems) in adulthood, and this association persists with increasing age throughout adulthood into early old age.

Also, a study specifies that "parental mental health during children’s formative years is a significant predictor of life course distress" (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2156869320912520)
Hence, it is important to look into parental mental health.
