The Indian Family Caregiver’s Handbook for Mental & Brain Related Disorders

Yet, few families receive the practical guidance they need to face the emotional, medical, legal, and social challenges that accompany long-term mental illness.

Whether you are a parent, spouse, sibling, or adult child, this comprehensive manual is designed to be your trusted companion, bridging the gap between clinical psychiatry and everyday family life.
