Caregiving and Mental Health

Caregiving involves providing support and assistance to individuals who are elderly, ill, or have disabilities. While caregiving is often rewarding, it can also lead to stress, anxiety, and burnout for the caregiver. The mental health of caregivers is crucial because their well-being directly impacts the quality of care they provide. It’s important for caregivers to seek help, establish boundaries, and practice self-care to maintain their mental health. Balancing caregiving responsibilities with personal needs can help prevent emotional exhaustion and promote overall well-being for both caregivers and those they care for.
