Dementia Caregivers: How to deal with depression 🌧️
• Work with a therapist to discuss feelings, stress, and identify
triggers that may contribute to depression.
• Consult your doctor to explore if an anti-depressant medication
is right for you.
• Talk to a friend or a family member.
• Use respite resources to buy yourself a few hours to do
something pleasurable. Take a bike ride, meet a friend for lunch,
or go to the library and read.
