A comparison of experiences of care and expressed emotion among caregivers of young people with first-episode psychosis or borderline personality disorder features
CONCLUSION: Caregivers of young people with borderline personality disorder experience higher levels of negative experiences related to their role and expressed emotion compared with caregivers of young people with first-episode psychosis. The mechanisms underpinning associations between caregiver experiences and expressed emotion differ between these two caregiver groups, indicating that different supports are needed. For borderline personality disorder caregivers, emotional over-involvement is associated with both negative and positive experiences, so a more detailed understanding of the nature of emotional over-involvement for each relationship is required to guide action.PMID:34628949 | DOI:10.1177/00048674211050299
