Abstract

Caregiving is a road that most individuals take at some time in their life. Informal caregivers, for instance, are in charge of looking after their loved ones. However, some caregivers extend these duties for extended periods of time while providing care for loved ones who have been diagnosed with a variety of chronic illnesses. It may be rewarding and difficult to provide informal care to those who are depressed. Caretakers may have financial, emotional, or physical health challenges in addition to losses like lost wages, reduced health coverage, and decreased retirement funds. In some circumstances, caregivers could even be compelled to quit their employment or reduce their hours. This study is essential given the growing number of people with mental health conditions and the increased demand for caregivers. An empirical review of management techniques used by caretakers for individuals with mental health conditions is presented in this article. According to this study, those with uterine fibroids, cancer, heart illness, diabetes, epilepsy, and physical or mental disabilities are considered mental patients. Future caregivers will find it easier and more beneficial to have a wide awareness of the topic.
