<unk>  syndrome is caused by the overwhelming duty of caring for a disabled or chronically ill person.<unk>  is caused by an increased stress hormone level for an extended period of time.<unk> s also suffer the grief of a declining loved one, as causing a depressive exhaustive state, deteriorating emotional and mental health. "Double-duty<unk> s" are those already working in the healthcare field who feel obligated to also care for their loved ones at home. This over-exhaustion and constant caregiving role can cause an increase in physical and mental health deterioration.

By 2030, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates a population of 71 million Americans over 65. In the U.K., over 450,000 dementia patients are cared for at home. Nevertheless, over half of the<unk> s (52.6%) indicated that they had some desire to institutionalize their relatives with dementia. The American Academy of Family Physicians and the National Center on Caregiving both believe all<unk> s should be screened for stress and depression and recommend providing<unk> s with their own resources to help them cope.

Since there are some illnesses that create a more intense need for caregiving, the<unk>  is responsible for almost every aspect in the patient's life. One of the positive aspects of caregiving for a loved one is that it can improve their quality of life, but when the<unk>  is depleted of confidence, the recovery may be fostered. Parents of children with CHD experience psychological distress such as high levels of<unk> , anxiety and depression. Caregiving for military service members who have experienced a traumatic brain injury or PTSD can be very challenging as well.
