Caregiver Burnout: How to Cope
Caregiving for someone suffering from Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, and it comes with a risk of what is known as “Caregiver Burnout.” With caregiver burnout, you are in a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that may also be coupled with a change in your attitude towards your caregiving role, from one of positive, caring, and rewarding to one of feeling negative, unconcerned, and resentful.
Agotamiento del Cuidador: Cómo Afrontarlo
Cuidar a una persona con Alzheimer es uno de los trabajos más desafiantes del mundo y conlleva el riesgo de sufrir lo que se conoce como "síndrome del cuidador". Con este síndrome, se experimenta un estado de agotamiento físico, emocional y mental que también puede ir acompañado de un cambio en la actitud hacia el cuidado, pasando de una actitud positiva, cariñosa y gratificante a una actitud negativa, indiferente y resentida.
