You may be doing all you can to provide care to the loved one in your life, perhaps even having a Mobile Psychotherapy Services practitioner provide needed mental health treatment.
But have you stopped and asked yourself if you could benefit from some psychotherapy, too?
Research has shown that caregivers all too often ignore their own symptoms of psychological distress. In fact, according to a Family Care Alliance report, 46 to 59 percent of caregivers suffer with clinical depression.
It is easy to overlook your own mental, emotional and physical needs when you are providing care to someone, especially a family member. Your busy schedule and the many responsibilities of caregiving often get in the way of you making time to attend to your own needs.
Please, take time to read and answer the following questions to determine if you could be in need of services from a health professional.
As a caregiver, do you sometimes feel:
- Tired?
- Irritable?
- Short tempered?
- That you are more forgetful?
- Anxious?
- Depressed?
- That you use food or other substances to sooth your emotions?
- Unable to take care of your own basic daily needs?
