Caregiving is known as a career that is rewarding and at the same time fulfilling. There are many challenges associated with being a caregiver, making it one of the toughest jobs. Although caregiving can have many rewards, it can still cause you much stress— emotional, mental, and physical stress. Caregiving is a long-term challenge that can take a toll on your health, life, relationships, and state of mind. This stress, if not addressed early on, will lead to burnout. When you get to that point, not only you, as a provider, will suffer but also your patient.
