Abstract :
AbstractBipolar affective disorder is a fascinating but tragic psychiatric condition. People who lived with this illness have to struggle for the rest of their life facing the mood changes. Often the whole family experienced the same difficulties as patients. Medications giving great benefit to help patients to control the symptoms, but even with the benefits of mood-stabilizing medications, persons with bipolar disorder experience intense pain, often in the form of ruined family relationships, financial problems, or lost hopes or dreams, especially in teen who often have emotional turmoil in their youth.Clearly, treatment for bipolar disorder must go beyond medication maintenance to include consideration of the familial and social–interpersonal aspects. Family focused treatment is a psychotherapy base on family which is developed to help patients and family to cope with the illness. The duration of this treatment is 9 months long which consist of 21 sessions. Family focused treatment is known to be helpful for the patient and family.
