As the elderly population increases, dementia has become a significant burden. The World Health Organization recognizes dementia care as a public health priority and calls for more support for family caregivers. Taking care of someone with dementia is a long-term responsibility that may lead to depression among caregivers, affecting the patient's status and prognosis.
As elderly people increasingly come to represent a higher proportion of the world's population, various forms of dementia are becoming a significant chronic disease burden. The World Health Organization emphasizes dementia care as a public health priority and calls for more support for family caregivers who commonly play a significant, central role in dementia care. Taking care of someone with dementia is a long-term responsibility that can be stressful and may lead to depression among family caregivers. Depression and related behavioral and cognitive changes among caregivers could in turn affect the status and prognosis of the dementia patient. This review article explores depression in dementia caregivers and summarizes proposed mechanisms, associated factors, management and research findings, and proposes future research directions.
