Caregiver Burnout
Caregiver collapse, also known as caregiver burnout or overload, is the state of physical and emotional exhaustion that can affect someone who continuously cares for a dependent person, such as an older adult.
Warning signs:
- Persistent tiredness and lack of energy
- Irritability, sadness, or a sense of isolation
- Neglect of one's own health and rest
Why it matters: Recognizing these signs early helps protect the well-being of the person providing care, which in turn supports the quality of care they give.
Who can help? A geriatrician, in addition to caring for the older adult, can offer guidance and support to the family and to whoever takes on the caregiver role. If you feel overwhelmed by caregiving, talking it over with a professional can ease the burden and open up support options.
