Driving Change in Caregiving

EDITOR'S PICK

The general term dependent/dependant care is also used for the service provided. Terms such as "voluntary caregiver" and "informal carer" are also used occasionally, but these terms have been criticized by carers as misnomers because they are perceived as belittling the huge impact that caring may have on an individual's life, the lack of realistic alternatives, and the degree of perceived duty of care.

The stress associated with unsupported care for chronically ill family members may result in a condition commonly referred to as caregiver syndrome.

Dr. Robert Bornstein, PhD

Don&t take the bait. If you respond to a challenge minimally, with vague, brief replies and a neutral emotional tone, your mother will probably drop the subject pretty quickly. Show focused interest in response to non-controversial subjects or those on which you really do agree, and you&ll have more positive interactions.
