Emotional & Mental Health for Caregivers

While caregiving is a vital component of cancer care, it is also a role that comes with significant personal costs.

The demands of caregiving can lead to what is commonly referred to as caregiver burden.

If you’re caring for a loved one with leukemia, you can face significant emotional strain and mental health risks due to the demanding and prolonged nature of the illness.

The emotional and practical burden can lead to a range of psychological issues, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and burnout.
