caregiving

Mothers of autistic children often neglect their own well-being, and new research says support systems must reach out first.

Home care allows older adults to stay in familiar surroundings while receiving personalised support that evolves with their needs.

The dependant does not have to be a family member and can be anyone who relies on them for care.

A new study is questioning the idea that family caregiving is also a risk factor for depression.

In an analysis that included older US women, caregiving was associated with a lower risk of death over an average follow-up of 17.5 years.

Suicide rates are generally higher in men than in women, but not everywhere – which suggests cultural influences.
