Signs of Caregiver Burnout
Originally published by the American Heart Association:
Caregiver burnout is caused by too much long-term stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed and can’t meet constant demands. As the stress continues, you lose the interest or motivation that led you to take on a certain role.
