Are you a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia? Do you often feel overwhelmed? Caregivers frequently report experiencing high levels of stress, but too much stress can be harmful. If you find yourself so overwhelmed by taking care of someone else that you have neglected your own physical, mental and emotional well-being, you may be putting yourself and your health at risk.
