Brief Summary   Researchers have undertaken this intervention study as data are scarce on structured family psychoeducation for caregivers of women with postpartum psychosis even though the study has found postpartum psychosis is an emergency condition. It requires the need to focus on family members’ involvement and provide information on illness conditions and reduce their burden. Considering this, the researcher has planned to develop an intervention package based on a scientific review of the literature to deliver an intervention.
