ေလျဖတ္သူမ်ားကို ျပဳစုေစာင့္ေရွာက္ရသူမ်ား စိတ္က်ေရာဂါပိုမိုျဖစ္ပြား

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stroke is one of the top causes of long-term disability. When people are lucky enough to survive a stroke, they need help looking after themselves.

The National Family Caregiver Association reports that family members care for 80% of stroke survivors. These family members take on a difficult responsibility by helping them manage their physical and cognitive dysfunction, which may include personality changes, paralysis, urinary incontinence, and speech difficulties.


 Below are some of the reasons caregivers might become depressive:

• Home confinement
• Financial strain
• Changes in the relationship with the care recipient
• Having little personal time
• Noncompliance of the stroke survivor
• Demands of caring for the stroke victim

Women with high symptoms of depression also had decreasing levels of cortisol, which the authors imply, may contribute to an increased risk of depression.
