Not surprisingly, caregivers report higher levels of psychological stress compared to non-caregivers, according to a 2019 report by the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The numbers are staggering: of study participants, 19% of caregivers had burnout and 22.6% were at risk of developing caregiver burnout syndrome. And the CDC has reported that 53% of caregivers experience a decline in their own health, making them more likely than the general public to have a chronic illness (82% versus 61%).
In this guide, we’ll provide more detail on caregiver burnout to help you identify if you may be at risk. We’ll also provide some ways to manage stress and offer coping strategies for caregiver burnout so that you can continue to care for your loved one and care for yourself.
