Dementia Care Research and Psychosocial Factors.

Background: Caregivers of people with dementia (PwD) often experience the burden of caregiving and depressive symptoms that may be associated. PwD who experience a higher occurrence of neuropsychiatric symptoms often cause a greater burden on their caregivers due to the difficulty in managing these symptoms. Caregivers may transfer their feelings of frustration and exhaustion with caregiving through the way they communicate with the PwD.

Similarly, the level of neuropsychiatric symptoms in PwD is associated with caregiver burden.
