Legal Protection of Mental Health for Family Caregivers of People with Mental Disorders: Challenges, Current Situation, and Legislative Response.
Review in Psychology research and behavior management, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This paper systematically reviews domestic and international empirical research and legal literature to examine the challenges faced by family caregivers of individuals with mental disorders in China in terms of mental health, as well as the current state of legal protection for such caregivers. Caregivers face anxiety, depression, and stress, with the root causes lying in the high intensity of caregiving tasks, economic and opportunity costs, social stigma, and insufficient social support. However, current laws, such as the Mental Health Law, primarily emphasize family obligations, with insufficient provisions for support and relief mechanisms targeting caregivers' own mental health, leading to a long-standing imbalance between responsibilities and rights. This paper draws on legislative experiences from Western countries in areas such as psychological support, respite services, and flexible work arrangements to explore pathways for improving China's legal protection system for caregivers. Research indicates that, by safeguarding caregivers' mental health as a legal right rather than merely a welfare benefit, introducing specialized support provisions, and promoting the legalization of social policies, significant improvements can be made in caregivers' mental health, thereby enhancing the overall level of mental health services. From a legal commentary and comparative research perspective, this paper proposes a practical legislative framework, providing theoretical foundations and practical references for future reforms in mental health legislation and policy optimization.
