What happens when one suffers from a psychological issue? Their mood, emotions and behaviour are affected. When this happens, it is not just the person, but it affects the family as well. The caregiver burden in these conditions is high, leading to expressed emotions and stress and strain between family members. Thus when we are helping children or adolescents, it is inevitable that we counsel the entire family. We have often seen that when family members are engaged fully in the process, the outcome and prognosis are better.
