Home caregiver burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion experienced by individuals who provide ongoing care for a loved one or patient. It can develop when caregiving responsibilities become overwhelming and may lead to stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and declining health. Recognizing caregiver burnout early is important, as support services, respite care, and self-care strategies can help caregivers maintain their well-being while continuing to provide quality care.
