Introduction:
Patients with thalassemia major are among the vulnerable subsets of population who need to be frequently admitted for transfusions. Thus, their caregivers are at an elevated risk of developing psychiatric comorbidities as they better understand the course of disease, prognosis and anticipate the impending burden. There is a lacuna in literature about our understanding of these caregivers’ experience with psychiatric illness, quality of life, coping skills and the effect these have on them as well as their patient.
