“…- it is OK Due to such intense involvement with the patient, many a times, family members do not give priority to their own needs. Multiple studies from India suggest that family members of patients with severe mental disorder face considerable caregiver burden (Chakrabarti, 2010; Grover et al, 2012; Grover et al, 2014; Kulhara, Grover, & Kate, 2015) and suffer from psychological distress (Kate, Grover, Kulhara, & Nehra, 2013). Besides this, family members also experience poor quality of life (Kate, Grover, Kulhara, & Nehra, 2014) and face considerable stigma because of their association with a person with mental disorder (Raguram, Raghu, Vounatsou, & Weiss, 2004; Singh, Mattoo, & Grover, 2016; Thara & Srinivasan, 2000).…”

This study suggests that caregivers of patients with schizophrenia experience higher stigma than the caregivers of patients with bipolar disorder and recurrent depressive disorder. Higher stigma is associated with higher psychological morbidity in the caregivers. Therefore, the clinicians managing patients with severe mental disorders must focus on stigma and psychological distress among the caregivers and plan intervention strategies to reduce stigma.
