How to support caregivers?
Hello everyone. I am Drpritisha. Saxena, consulting psychiatrist. Welcome to myswell today I want to discuss about caregivers. Caregivers are an integral part of our healthcare system. Be it someone who is being paid for this work or anyone who is maybe a partner, a parent friend, anyone who is taking care of a person who is physically mentally disturbed or ill. A lot of times people who are having any kind of mental health condition, their caregivers can also suffer mentally
And over the years, she also developed depression because of the pain itself. She and a lot of other things to do with chronic disease. So because of a lot of situations, we both studied together in boarding school and ended up in another country where, in a way that I was her caregiver, even though I was really young, the thing I struggled with is my mental health. A lot of times I had to present a very strong face. I couldn't show any doubt

So these are some of the aspects that I have seen and I'm really not sure the only way is for the caregiver to really stay mentally healthy and do a lot of meditation, stay calm and hope and pray that this too shall pass
