Abstract

The role of the caregiver and their possible influence in making AD too could have been explored. Since India is a developing country, the additional challenges faced, like the effect of the rural/urban background, availability of resources, feasibility, likely benefits/hardships and difference to the care of patients in future due to ADs, need further insight. Authors could have used standard structured scales like Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, Young Mania Rating Scale, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, etc., to achieve a better judgement about the status of symptoms in patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. [...]the assessment of insight and cognitive status was not done.
