burden of caregiving

The burden of caregiving refers to the physical, emotional, and financial strain experienced by individuals who provide ongoing support to someone with health issues or disabilities. It involves managing daily tasks, medical needs, and emotional challenges, often leading to stress, exhaustion, and feelings of being overwhelmed. Caregivers may also face social isolation and financial pressures. This burden affects their well-being and can impact their relationships and job responsibilities. Recognizing this helps highlight the importance of support and resources for caregivers to maintain their health and quality of life.
