The goal of the study was to look at the psychological distress those rural Nepalese caregivers of NDD children go through. A team of skilled mental health professionals went and spoke with 63 carers in their homes. In this study, the General Health Questionnaire was utilised to evaluate psychological distress, perceived caregiver load, disability severity and demographic information.
