Long Summary

This study looks at the prevalence of people living with psychosis who are carrying out a caregiving role. The article identifies how scarcely this topic has been studied, and how little is understood about the relationship dynamics that results from this arrangement. The findings indicate that with appropriate support from formal services, people with psychosis can make healthy meaningful contributions to their family and friends.
