Dementia Care in Jackson

Identifying Caregiver Depression and Getting Help

At Visiting Angels^® Toms River, we know how difficult it can be to care for a relative with dementia. With the constant stress and pressure of providing care, it can be easy to forget about your own well-being. However, caregiver depression is a real thing, and you need to be careful and aware of the warning signs. Most importantly, there's no shame in seeking some help. With our dementia care, we offer a vital service for Jackson area seniors and their family care providers. 

Caregiver depression manifests in different ways and at different times. Some experience symptoms immediately after a loved one has been diagnosed, for others it takes longer. If you are caring for a relative with dementia, it's important to stay on top of your own mental health. Hiring our professional dementia care service is a great way to reduce your own care duties while providing amazing support for your loved one in the Jackson area. 

Some symptoms of caregiver depression include:

• If you are quick to become frustrated
• If you feel worthless or guilty
• A feeling of general hopelessness
• Thoughts of suicide or death
• Disrupted sleep
• Lack of energy
• Disinterest in your usual activities
• Difficulty concentrating
• Headaches and other physical ailments that do not respond to treatment
