Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease places caregivers at high risk for burnout. In the U.S., more than 11 million family caregivers provide care for someone living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, averaging nearly 31 hours of care each week. Research shows that 70% of dementia caregivers report caregiving as stressful, and caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and poorer overall health than non‑caregivers. The CDC reports that over one‑quarter of caregivers have been diagnosed with depression, a rate significantly higher than the general population. Burnout is not a sign of weakness—it’s a common response to long‑term emotional, physical, and mental strain, and it highlights the importance of support, respite, and caregiver self‑care.
