Most Difficulty Type of Caregiving

"Caregiving for dementia is the most challenging type of caregiving." Richard Schulz, psychiatrist

40% of caregivers for dementia suffer from depression, according to Richard Schulz, psychiatrist.  He describes it as "the most negatively impactful and challenging type of caregiving.  The symptoms are constantly in front of you, and that takes a toll."  Schulz is professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh.  I agree.  Caregiving for someone with dementia is extremely difficult, and all of us who are caregivers find ourselves enveloped in sadness at times.
