Stress associated with caring for chronically ill family members can lead to anxiety and depression. Caregivers sometimes pay more attention to the health of the person they are caring for than their own, and feelings of hopelessness and isolation often arise. On The Point, Mindy Todd talks with our guests who are mental health profesionals: psychiatrist Dr. Marc Whaley; psychologist Dr. Michael Abruzzesse; psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Schwartz; and clincial therapist Ann Geagan. They share advice for caregivers, and we hear from people around the region who are dealing with issues related to the challenges of taking care of loved ones in need.
