More than 12% of Indian children aged 1 – 16 years suffer from mental disorders and the incidence of mental retardation is also high. Severe mental disorders that include schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, organic psychosis and major depression affect nearly 2% of our population. Many epidemiological studies conducted in India on mental and behavioral disorders report varying prevalence rate, ranging from 9.5 to 370 per 1000 population. The study utilized an experimental research approach. The study was conducted in a mental hospital, Gwalior, M. P. A purposive sampling technique was utilized for selecting a sample of 50 family members of the 50 patients with CMD in mental hospital, Gwalior, M. P.
