Promoting the mental health of carers
The first step is to recognise a carer who is at risk of suffering mental health problems and may benefit
from your support. Carers who are elderly, isolated and or suffering from physical health problems themselves are more likely to suffer from the stresses of caring. You must act to promote mental health before the carer becomes depressed. Whenever you visit the sick person, take a few minutes to talk to the carer about her own health. Do this in private, away from the sick person. Most carers would not be frank about their negative feelings in front of the person they are caring for. Keeping in regular touch with the sick person and the carer is the best way of promoting their mental health.
