Being a caregiver for a loved one can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be physically and emotionally draining. Caregiver burnout is a real issue that many people face when they are responsible for the care of a family member or friend. It's important to recognize the signs of caregiver burnout and take steps to prevent it.
What is Caregiver Burnout?
Caregiver burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that can result from the prolonged stress of caregiving. It can manifest as feelings of overwhelm, irritability, fatigue, and a sense of isolation. Caregivers often put their own needs aside to care for their loved ones, leading to neglect of their own well-being.
