The study brings out the major levels of burden experienced by the carers of chronic mental illness. This proves the necessity to provide adequate and routine screening for difficulties faced by caregivers to pick up early signs of burnout. Psychotherapy targeting the coping strategies and effective functioning of the caregivers is essential, along with patient management.
