Dementia Spousal Caregiving

Dementia family caregiving has been linked to depression, anxiety, insomnia, and other negative mental health symptoms, particularly among spousal caregivers who are most likely to have higher levels of caregiving hours. Further, depressive symptoms often present differently based on caregiver race and ethnicity. This study aimed to examine the association between spousal caregiving hours and self‐reported depressive symptoms as well as identify any racial/ethnic disparities in depression self‐reporting.
