Description
Han-Kuan Bai, Chingching Lu, and Fang Liu survey family caregivers of people with dementia in Taiwan, in a 2025 study. Family members there carry much of the long-term care load, often for years. The team measured sleep, stress, and depression in twenty long-term caregivers, testing each person twice, one month apart, to check the steadiness of the readings.
The toll was heavy. Nine in ten caregivers slept poorly enough to count as chronic insomnia. About two thirds showed abnormal stress levels, and three in five showed signs of depression, ranging from mild to severe. The authors say these figures expose an urgent need for support systems that ease the load on families and protect the health of those who give the care.
