The primary purpose of supporting an elderly family member is to provide companionship, compassion, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A family caregiver does not charge money or receive payments for assisting an older adult. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caregiving.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Full-Report-Caregiving-in-the-United-States-2020.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\">National Alliance for Caregiving<\/a>, over 53 million people in the United States provide unpaid care and support for family members, relatives, and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.agingcare.com\/articles\/who-are-family-caregivers-459287.htm\" rel=\"nofollow\">Aging Care<\/a> highlights that family caregivers work an average of 23.7 hours weekly. Some caregivers who live with the aging\/elderly individual spend an average of 37.4 hours per week providing care and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, this takes a massive toll on the caregiver\u2019s physical and mental wellbeing, leading to chronic stress and other conditions. Today\u2019s article will discuss the physical and mental health effects of family caregiving.

However, chronic stress can deteriorate your mental health and cognitive abilities and make you feel nervous, tense, irritable, and restless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chronic stress is the root cause of physical and mental health conditions, disrupting your organ systems, tissues, and cellular functions and reducing your overall quality of life.

Working for more hours to support your elderly family member causes muscle and neuronal fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It causes your brain to function slowly and disrupts the balance of neurotransmitters\/chemicals, such as dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and melatonin. As a result, you feel depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/14687259\/\">study<\/a> published by the National Institute of Health (NIH) highlights that family caregivers who care for people with dementia are 40% more prone to depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cardiovascular_Diseases\"><\/span>Cardiovascular Diseases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A study published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/7963275\/\">National Library of Medicine<\/a> shows that family caregivers are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular conditions because physical stress and mental fatigue affect blood pressure and cholesterol levels and damage the blood vessels, leading to heart disease and stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12568816\/\">2003 research study<\/a> found that women caregivers are more prone to cardiovascular conditions because they take care of the ailing\/disabled spouse, look after their children, carry out family errands\/chores, and experience burnout at the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lack of proper sleep, increasing blood pressure levels, and hormonal stress disrupts a woman\u2019s metabolic and homeostatic system, elevating the risk of diabetes, renal conditions, liver problems, and heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sleep_Deprivation\"><\/span>Sleep Deprivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6508862\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">2016 systematic review study<\/a> states that family caregivers are more likely to experience sleep deprivation and insomnia. Researchers highlight that 70% of caregivers caring for a patient with dementia suffer from sleep problems. About 40% of caregivers caring for a cancer patient experience chronic sleep deprivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not getting plenty of sleep (about 7-8 hours at night) affects your mental health, reduces cognitive functions, negatively impacts memory, and causes behavioral changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Words\"><\/span>Final Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of doing the job yourself, you can hire a professional caregiving service with experienced, well-trained, and skilled staff.
