Carers' mental health has worsened, finds major study

CARERS’ mental health has worsened, with more than half feeling often or always overwhelmed, according to a major survey.
The charity Carers UK said the results of its latest polling of more than 12,000 carers across Britain suggested that an increasing number of those who look after a disabled, older or sick relative are suffering poor mental health.
Almost six in 10 of those who responded to the survey said they feel overwhelmed “often” or “always.”
