Extensive research indicates that individuals who care for family members with chronic or disabling conditions are vulnerable to emotional, mental, and physical health challenges. The complexities of caregiving and the responsibilities of looking after frail or disabled relatives often lead to the development of health issues in the caregivers themselves.

Providing care has a detrimental impact on the psychological well-being of family caregivers, resulting in elevated levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health implications among those who look after older relatives or friends.
