Being a caregiver in any capacity of a mentally ill person is very challenging and energy draining. However, when you are a caregiver who is not a formally trained caregiver, this can lead to unbelievable stress in your life, and it can rip apart families, marriages, parental relationships, as well as your own inner self. The care of a Bipolar person is extremely difficult and painful.
I have attached an article about this to this page. It is good and informative.
Burden on Caregivers of Bipolar Individuals
This will be a good space for all of us to help each other help the mentally ill — whether they are our loved ones, or whether they are individuals we care for as a trained professional in the mental health industry.
Comments are welcome and will be helpful for all.
