Families of people with schizophrenia often feel a heavy burden when the family's care needs cannot be met properly. Resilience is a key factor in dealing with stress, anxiety, and worry about the patient's condition. This ability is very important to have in order to accept, adapt, recover, and also overcome a problem that occurs in his life, so that individuals can maintain and continue life optimally.
