Caregivers

Caregivers are the invisible or second health system, particularly in the care of people with dementia. The effects on those living with and caring for an older person with a chronic mental disorder are far-reaching and the cost often includes psychological distress. We are investigating determinants of this psychological morbidity and ways to assist family members to cope better and achieve a better quality of life for themselves and their charges.
