[Caregiver burden: From recognition to care]

Abstract

The burden of caregivers of patients with chronic diseases has been the subject of research for several years, but few studies have focused on the suffering of family members from the time of their first hospitalization in psychiatry. The identification of the determinants of this burden would allow us to propose early management aimed at improving the well-being of the patients' family and friends and maximizing intra-family resources.
