Evaluation of Efficiency of One Day Patient/Caregiver Psychoeducation on the Caregiver's Burden
Sponsor: University Hospital, Montpellier
Summary
Bipolar disorder (BD) has a huge impact on the lives of patient and their relatives. Psychoeducation programs on BD has been shown to be effective on the burden of patients and their caregivers. However, actual programs appear to be incompatible with patients obligations and services requirements of the service. The development of "minute" programs (in one day) is justified.
