Answer to Question 1

A
A client who voices feeling overwhelmed is most likely experiencing the impoverishment state. In a state of impoverishment the individual's resources are depleted.

Answer to Question 2

B
Both primary caregivers who live with a schizophrenic person and those who do not live in the same household but still provide care experience similar levels of stress and burdens. In fact, 25 of both groups of caregivers met the GHQ criterion for mental illness themselves. One of the implications of this is that mental health services should aim to assist these caregivers in developing methods of managing stress.
