Social, family and professional life depending on diverse factors. The caregiver
burden is mainly related to patients with behavioral disturbances (BPSD) and loss of cognitive
functions. Caring for a patient with dementia directly links to significant psychological stress.
It also affects the caregivers’ physical and mental health. The psychiatric morbidity is higher
among the caregivers population. Depression, anxiety disorder and insomnia have been found
to be the most common. In this article, the authors share their own experiences and reflections
from the use of psychotherapy with caregivers. The primary goal of psychotherapy is to help
the patient’s caregiver adapt to the new situation and in improving relationships and communication with the patient. An important element of therapy is to reign in emotions associated
with exercising care, helping with getting over the loss a loved one, accepting restrictions
imposed on social and family life, and preventing feelings of loneliness. The aims of therapeutic
interventions should include: education about dementia, improving the effectiveness and skills
needed to deal with patients, and fostering a sense of security. It seems that the best kind of
help for caregivers of people suffering from dementia, are their support groups.
