Parenthood is the leading factor weighing on the mental health of adults in Switzerland - more than work or money - according to a new AXA study.
The insurer says one in four adults in the country now suffers from a mental illness, with the 18-to-24 age bracket the most affected at 39%.
AXA also reports a 78% jump in disability insurance claims linked to mental health over the past four years.
The findings underline how much pressure parents are carrying, especially for many expat families who are balancing careers and child-rearing far from extended family.
