Caregiver stress refers to the physical, emotional, and mental strain experienced by individuals who provide care for someone with a chronic illness, disability, or age-related condition. This stress can arise from the demands of caregiving, which may include managing medical needs, providing daily assistance, and coping with the emotional challenges of seeing a loved one suffer. Common signs of caregiver stress include fatigue, anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal. It is important for caregivers to recognize these symptoms and seek support, whether through support groups, therapy, or taking breaks to recharge. Addressing caregiver stress is essential for both the caregiver's well-being and the quality of care they provide.
