Reports on the results of a survey of friends and relatives of members of the Manic Depression Fellowship, the largest mental self-help group in the UK. Results from over 1000 carers are reported regarding the perceived usefulness of professionals, their quality of life and perceived needs in terms of service provision. It is suggested that similar educational packages to those developed for relatives of people with schizophrenia may be useful.
