Carers do a very important job and those dealing with mental illness can find themselves in very stressful situations.  If a carer does not take care of themselves it will not be long before health problems arise for them too.  Strategies for dealing with the day to day issues and focusing on the recovery of the mentally ill person are issues to be addressed.

I used to think that anyone afflicted with a mental illness was going to be a very ill person for the rest of their lives.
