Abstract

Levels of stress in carers of long-term schizophrenia sufferers attending a depot clinic were assessed. Nine out of 25 carers (36%) were identified as possible or definite cases on either the GHQ or the HAD. However, a substantial proportion of carers managed to cope with the difficulties without suffering psychologically.
