Being a caretaker is not easy. Watching someone you love struggle with a mental illness can feel overwhelming — but the right kind of support can change everything.
Here are 3 things research shows every caretaker should focus on:
1️⃣ Encourage Consistent Treatment
People with psychiatric illnesses are more likely to relapse if they skip follow-ups or stop medications. Your gentle reminders can keep them on track.
2️⃣ Build a Safe Space
Judgment and stigma make people withdraw. Listening with empathy (instead of advice) makes them feel understood and supported.
3️⃣ Notice Subtle Changes
Changes in sleep, appetite, or routine often signal an upcoming relapse. Early recognition = faster intervention.
💡 Caretakers don’t have to “fix” everything. Just showing up with patience and consistency makes a world of difference.
