How to Manage PTSD Symptoms in the Caregivers of Home-Bound Family Members
Do you know someone who is trying to provide home health care for a loved one, but the experience is becoming increasingly overwhelming? These individuals are the target of this book. Providing care for a home-bound family member is stressful and can be a source of trauma especially for those who lack healthcare training. The symptoms of stress can take on the appearance of PTSD symptoms even though the individual might not actually have PTSD. We could call the unique nature of these symptoms caretaker PTSD. The ideal is for the caregiver to find a way to maintain self-care while serving their loved one. However, the symptoms often take their toll and the individual struggles with the results of feeling overwhelmed like health issues, relational stress, and financial stress not to mention the stress of health crisis in the loved one including their decline and death.
