Dementia Caregivers are at increased risk for dementia (especially spouses): Why and What you can do

Hey there Careblazer! Welcome back to Careblazers TV, the place where we talk about everything dementia.

If you are caring for a loved one with any type of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body Dementia, or vascular dementia, then this is the place for you!

In today’s video, I’m talking about how dementia caregivers (especially caregivers married to someone with dementia) are at increased risk for getting dementia themselves. I talk about some reasons why you are at increased risk and give you hope about how to reduce your risk.

Make sure you hit the red subscribe button so you don’t miss out on future videos. Next week, I’ll be sharing with you a specific plan for how to reduce your dementia risk and even improve your loved ones thinking.

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. In my job, I help people with dementia, and their caregivers, by visiting them in their own homes and helping them cope through the many struggles of caring for someone with dementia. I have always wanted to help more people than is possible for me in a work day. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I do this in my spare time. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
