Family Causing Chaos ?
18/f
I was watching criminal minds one night & in the episode they said something about woman who have problems because they don't have a father figure present. . . Is there some kind of name for that? Such as a disease or something? Cause I thought they said a name for it but I can't remember. . .
Thanks in advance (:

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
Some women have what are called abandonment issues. What that sometimes lead to is a preference for men who aren't all there emotionally, or even physically, for them, since many women re-enact their relationship with their fathers in their intimate lives. Some women may need therapy for this.

As a psych student, I can tell you that there is no such disease (although people may refer to it as a 'daddy complex' or 'daddy issues'). Having a lack of a father figure can certainly cause women problems, but this does not mean that they have a mental health disorder, which has to do with brain chemistry. Hope that helps. :)
