Caregivers of patients with mood disorders report high levels of caregiver burden and poor family functioning. This study assessed the impact of educating caregivers about their symptoms and about community resources. Depressive symptoms were reported by 74% of caregivers, but only 37% of these caregivers accepted a referral and only 6% followed through. Similarly, of those with poor family functioning, 44% were offered a referral, 22% accepted, but only 5% followed through. Overall, 82% reported that the psychoeducational packet was useful.
