Daily Stressors, Social Support, and Mental Health Experiences of Dementia Family Caregivers

Family members providing informal care to individuals living with dementia have an increased risk of depression and anxiety. While risk and protective factors of poor mental health outcomes have previously been identified, little is known about the day‐to‐day circumstances in which depression and anxiety‐related symptoms are more likely to appear among dementia caregivers. The purpose of this study was to identify contextual factors associated with daily depression and anxiety symptom experience among dementia family caregivers.
