Caring for an elderly person is a long-distance race, since sometimes it is only a short period of time, but in other cases it is long years of your life, which can seriously affect it, not only the person who takes care of the person dependent, but to her children, her husband and her social environment. For this reason, it is necessary for the caregiver to know about psychological weapons and the health and social resources available to them so that the work of caring is as least harmful as possible for both the caregiver and the person being cared for.
