Caregiver Speaker Elaine K Sanchez, [ Ссылка ] and [ Ссылка ], discusses how to recognize the symptoms of Reactionary Depression and overcome feelings of despondency and hopelessness.

Caregivers get depressed as they witness the decline of someone they love and as their own lives become more complicated, restrictive and reclusive. There isn’t one single cause of depression among caregivers, or even just one type of depression. It isn’t unusual for someone who is caregiving to experience both reactionary depression and clinical depression.

Reactionary depression can be caused by a specific event or set of circumstance. Caregivers also get depressed when they stuff feelings of anger and guilt rather than dealing with them.
Signs of depression can include a negative attitude, difficulty sleeping, change in eating habits, inability to concentrate, difficulty making decisions along with a variety of body complaints, including headaches, backaches and various digestive disorders. The good news is that you can work your way through a bout of reactionary depression with conscious effort and a little time.

This is one in a series of videos about caregiver depression on Elaine's video-based Caregiver Help website.


Elaine Sanchez incorporates humor, real life stories and entertaining videos and slides into her keynote and workshop presentations. She is co-founder of CaregiverHelp.com, a video-based support program, and writes the caregiver blog, "Caregiver Help Word of the Day". Together she and her husband, Dr. Alex Sanchez have developed a number of online continuing education courses for mental health professionals.
