AB  - OBJECTIVES: To compare depression and psychological well-being between caregivers 
      of schizophrenic patients and non-caregivers and to study the burden of 
      caregiving as a relative risk for depression and psychological well-being. 
      METHODS: This cross sectional comparative study was conducted at International 
      Islamic university Islamabad from January to September 2017. Fifty informal 
      caregivers of schizophrenic patients from 19 to 55 years of age were included in 
      the study. The control group consisted of age and socio-economic status matched 
      healthy volunteers who did not have any psychological or medical patient at home 
      needing care and assistance. For measurement of study variables i.e., burden of 
      caregiving, depression and psychological well-being, instruments used were Zarit 
      Burden Interview (ZBI), The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Warwick-Edinburgh 
      Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) respectively. RESULTS: Results were analyzed 
      using MANOVA followed by One-Way ANOVA. Findings indicated that informal 
      caregivers of schizophrenia have greater depression and poor psychological 
      well-being in comparison to the non-caregiver controls. Association of caregiving 
      burden with psychological well-being and depression was calculated using Chi 
      Square test and relative risk. CONCLUSION: Caregiving adversely affects informal 
      caregivers' mental health and wellbeing. Informal caregiving is a burden for the 
      caregivers; health status of family members involved in caregiving should be 
      routinely assessed to enhance their health-related quality of life.
