With Parkinson’s disease, we often focus solely on the patient, but often overlook the caregivers: their hardships, their physical condition and the help they may need. In addition to the patient and the doctor, a strong ally in the battle against the disease is the caregiver, and this is often the closest family member who takes on the role. If you have Parkinson’s disease, what do you know about your loved one’s caregiver? If you are the caregiver, are you prepared? We hope this short article today will provide some help for both the person with Parkinson’s and the caregiver. With the aging of the population and the prevalence of chronic diseases, many elderly people with disabilities and dementia require long-term, uncompromising care from their families, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for all caregivers, both physically and mentally. Likewise, for some young chronically ill patients whose parents have taken on the role of caregiver, there is the lingering question of whether their children’s illnesses, their future, and their own health can take on this responsibility and whether they can always be there for their children. According to a study done by the American Family Caregiver Agency, 80% of patients are home caregivers, 82% of women take on the role of caregiver, and nearly 80% of caregivers are required to spend 20 hours a week caring for the patient; 2. Caregivers’ time is often spent on daily living, household chores, emotional interaction with the patient, financial management, and medication administration; 3. What are the physical and mental challenges for caregivers when caring for a patient over a long period of time? On the positive side, a surprising 70 percent responded that caring for a patient makes them discover that they have such a strong heart! But they also face a lot of stress, with frustration being the biggest emotional distress, as well as headaches, stomach problems, insomnia, and depression due to chronic physical and mental exhaustion; most caregivers feel helpless about caring for their patients for long periods of time without consistent help from family members. In conclusion, caregivers can only take on the burden of caring for patients if they take better care of themselves. Usually caring for patients with chronic illness is a constant battle that cannot be ignored psychologically or tactically; and Parkinson’s disease has its own special characteristics of a long and progressive disease course, and caring for patients with Parkinson’s disease also requires a constant preparation to keep up with the times.
