Caring for someone living with dementia can be a stressful experience that harms the physical and mental health of caregivers. Many caregivers experience depression and lower quality of life. LGBTQ+ caregivers face unique challenges that can magnify these strains.
exploring the health effects of caring for someone living with dementia, I am interested in developing strategies to alleviate strain on caregivers and improve their quality of life. Because of limited research on LGBTQ+ caregivers of people living with dementia, my team and I have been collecting data to address the health disparities they experience.
LGBTQ+ caregivers were also more likely to be working full or part time, to have never married, and to be caring for their friends or"chosen" family. In contrast, non-LGBTQ+ caregivers were more likely to be retired and caring for their spouse.
