1.1 Caretaking: The Physical Toll
This video examines the relationship between caretaking (specifically, caring for family members with dementia), stress, and health. The video focuses on a man who cares for his wife with Alzheimer’s disease. As you watch, you will see the emotional and physical toll that chronic stress takes on him and on other such individuals. The video also features a study by Janice Kiecolt Glaser and Ronald Glaser providing evidence that long-term stress can lower the human body’s immune response.
