| Original uncertainty examples | For full examples, see Category ID A3 on spreadsheet. How best can we support carers and families. What outcomes are associated with earlier intervention. ~ What support can be given to relatives of people with bipolar, especially children? The spectre of heredity is hard for children to live with. ~ How can carers be helped to deal better with the irritability associated with bipolar? ~ How can I explain and help my partner support me ~ As a carer I'm concerned and frustrated with lack of access, for carers, to support and expert advice / clinicians / doctors. Patients are given treatment plans, but for carers who are struggling with loved ones - sometimes it's as if carers need a 'carers plan'.And this is very hard to find - carers have to rely on each other and support groups, but we'd all like access to professional expertise, too. |
