Your Health In Mind
https://www.yourhealthinmind.org/for-carers/caring-for-someone-with-a-mental-illness
Are you helping someone with a mental health condition or illness? If so, you might be called this person’s carer. You might spend time with the person and listen to their concerns. Perhaps you look after them full time at home. Maybe you’re there when they have to go into hospital. If you support someone with mental illness, you are playing an important role in their recovery. You know how they normally act and which treatments work for them. You can answer questions if they become unwell. Every caring relationship is unique. But there are some common issues that carers of someone with a mental illness will go through.
Carers Trust
You may be looking after someone with mental health problems. Or you may find that your own mental health is being affected by your caring role.
