After seven years a caregiver become diseased from the stress

Caregiver stress can lead to serious health problems

Some of the ways stress affects caregivers include:

• Depression and anxiety. Women who are caregivers are more likely than men to develop symptoms of anxiety and 

  depression.  Anxiety and depression also raise your risk for other health problems, such as heart disease and stroke.

• Weak immune system. Stressed caregivers may have weaker immune systems than noncaregivers and spend more days sick

  with the cold or flu. A weak immune system can also make vaccines such as flu shots less effective. Also, it may take longer

  to recover from surgery.

• Obesity. Stress causes weight gain in more women than men. Obesity raises your risk for other health problems, including

  heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

• Higher risk for chronic diseases. High levels of stress, especially when combined with depression, can raise your risk for

  health problems, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or arthritis.

• Problems with short-term memory or paying attention Caregivers of spouses with Alzheimer's disease are at higher risk for

  problems with short-term memory and focusing.
