In the best of times, people who care for loved ones with serious health conditions often sacrifice time, energy and their own physical and emotional needs — which can lead to stress, anxiety and even depression.
During this pandemic, many are finding those stresses heightened. For more about what it is like to be a caregiver right now, MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with Julie deRosier-Paul, whose husband, Jeff, was first diagnosed with kidney cancer in 1998.
This coverage is part of Call to Mind, MPR’s initiative to foster new conversations about mental health.
