The Oscar Award-winning "The Father" accurately depicts living with dementia for both the person with dementia and the caregiver. Each of us can feel that the effects of chronic disease are substantial and widespread. It affects all aspects of life. Once a person has a chronic disease, the pressure goes to the whole family. The illness is declaring a war on everyone in our family.

How to Fight Chronic Disease Like Hypertension As A Caregiver If Someone in Our Family Is Struggling With It? There are 4 pieces of advice for you:

Basic understanding of how the disease will affect them physically. What treatments need to be taken usually? What are the side effects?

Be prepared for the possible emotional changes from them. When someone’s Physical function is changed, the way they look at the world will change too. They will focus on “what they can’t do” more, and only looking at the negative side. You might be upset about their negative life attitude at the beginning. But they can’t help it. They are not familiar to deal with the disease either!

Help them manage their disease. No one can accompany another person 24/7. They must try to handle it by themselves even only for a while. They will feel more secure when they can manage their life on their own.

Life Attitude and family support are really important for a patient. And it is a difficult and long process. It consumes your patience but raises your courage. There is always a miracle that surprises science. As long as we are here for each other!
