Summary
Adult children caring for elderly parents with dementia or severe health issues often experience overwhelming emotional exhaustion, depression, and a desire to distance themselves from their loved ones. Witnessing a parent's physical and cognitive decline or managing constant anxiety and neediness can lead to feelings of guilt, hopelessness, and isolation. Despite the growing prevalence, there is a lack of accessible mental health support, respite care, and practical guidance for family caregivers, leaving them to suffer in silence. This emotional burden threatens both the caregiver's well-being and the quality of care provided, making it an urgent unsolved problem.
