Caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease is not easy. It can be hard on you and cause a lot of stress. A lot of caregivers have times when they feel tired and overwhelmed. In fact, caregivers have an increased risk of depression and other sickness when compared with others. Especially those with little or no help from family and friends.
Remember that you do not have to do it all. Using outside resources when you need them can help relieve stress. There are things you can do to help manage your loved one's care. And this may lessen the burden you may feel.
