In order to collect the necessary information for the study structure interview sheet was used to collect data. There was a statistical significant difference in mean scores of knowledge, self- efficacy, and quality of life before and post the intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion: it is concluded that, knowledge level, self- efficacy and quality of life of caregivers of patients of bipolar disorder improved significantly after psycho-educational intervention.
