ENGLISH SUMMARY : Background: One of the major factors known to affect the psychological wellbeing of youth is the mental health of their caregivers. Women/mothers are typically the primary caregivers in South Africa. Previous studies have highlighted a positive relationship between maternal mental disorders and poor adolescent outcomes. This study aimed to identify the possible risk factors that are associated with the development and progression of mood disorders in an adolescent population from the Western Cape, South Africa. Methods: This descriptive study involved a retrospective record review of all patients admitted to Tygerberg adolescent psychiatric inpatient unit during the period 2015 to 2017. The study sample consisted of 10 male and 27 female research participants. Continuous variables were summarized as mean and standard deviation, while nominal variables were summarized as counts and percentages. Results: The research findings identified a number of possible maternal risk factors associated with the development of adolescent mood disorders. These risk factors include a history of maternal psychiatric illness, maternal postpartum depression, domestic violence, adolescent bereavement and maternal substance use during and after pregnancy. Conclusion: Mothers with a history of psychiatric disorders need further psycho-education regarding the possible impact of these risk factors on the mental health of their children.
