Navigating limbo: help-seeking for mental health problems among loved ones of missing persons.

Kennedy, C., Deane, F. P., & Chan, A. Y. (2022).

The current study explored relationships between sociodemographic variables, loss characteristics, psychological symptoms, psychological disorder ”caseness”, and help-seeking behaviour among people with a missing loved one.
