Presents a survey of stress of key carers of 46 consecutive cases of chronic obsessive compulsive disorders who were receiving combined drug and cognitive-behavioural therapy in an out-patient clinic. 28 percent of carers surveyed were severely burdened by their carer role and 35 percent were extremely distressed at the prospect of ongoing care provision. Concludes that caregivers require support, and may be considered to be consumers of mental health services themselves.
