The Stress that Comes with Caring for Alzheimer's

The emotional impact

The symptoms of caregiver stress are similar to the symptoms for depression. Signs of caregiver’s stress include things like anxiety, exhaustion, social withdrawal, sleeplessness, and lack of concentration. All of these things are very common for someone serving as a caregiver. In addition to the emotional impact of your loved one’s condition, your life may be put on hold in order to care for them.
