Depression can sneak up on caregivers who are over-stressed and over-extended. What are the symptoms of depression?

• loss of appetite
• sleep disturbance
• loss of concentration
• lack of energy
• loss of sex drive

If you suspect you may be suffering from depression, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. See your doctor and confirm a diagnosis. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you are depressed; countless caregivers including myself have suffered from depression and it is treatable.
