Aim: This study aims to assess and compare the pattern of burden among the families having patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, observational study was conducted on the outpatient department level at Ranchi Institute of Neuropsychiatry and Allied Science. This study included 30 patients with schizophrenia and equal number of age- and sex-matched patients with bipolar disorder. The diagnosis was made as per criteria of International Classification of Diseases 10 diagnostic criteria for research.

Results: Total caregiver burden, financial burden, disruption of routine family activities, family leisure, family interaction, and subjective burden felt by caregiver were significantly more in caregivers of schizophrenia patients compared to caregivers of BPAD.
