Research shows caregiving can take a significant emotional, physical and financial toll on a person.
“Family caregiving is an incredibly intensive and time consuming experience,” said Dr. Lucille Carriere, a health psychologist for Cleveland Clinic. “We typically see this in more complex medical diagnoses, such as dementia, where we see a lot of unfortunately negative effects for family caregivers.”
According to data from a Cleveland Clinic and Parade Media survey, 36% of caregivers suffer from depression and anxiety, which is 114% more than non-caregivers. In addition, 56% of caregivers say it’s not realistic for them to take a day off for their emotional and mental health.Carriere said it’s important caregivers get time for themselves.“It could be as little as five minutes or maybe it needs a little bit longer, and I think that’s some kind of personal reflection on the case of the caregiver to kind of decide what feels right for them,” she said.
Carriere said if you notice a caregiver in your life is having a hard time, you may want to talk to them about how they’re feeling and offer help, if possible.
