Caregiver burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that can occur when someone provides ongoing care for another person, often a family member or friend. This condition can lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression, making it difficult for caregivers to perform their duties effectively. Common signs include fatigue, irritability, and a sense of helplessness. Factors contributing to caregiver burnout include lack of support, financial strain, and the emotional toll of caring for someone with a chronic illness or disability, such as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. Recognizing the signs early and seeking help can improve the well-being of both the caregiver and the person receiving care.
