(HealthDay News) - Caring for a loved one who needs extensive help can be physically and emotionally draining. To continue providing loving care, it's important to monitor your own well-being, too.

  • Feeling unusually angry or resentful toward the person you care for, yourself or your family.
  • Withdrawing from social activities.
  • Anxiety.

  • Feeling irritable.
  • Being sick frequently.
