Would You Want to Know and Caretaker Fatigue

A new at-home test kit has just
arrived at a local pharmacy near you. This kit allows you in the comfort of
your own home to test yourself for Alzheimer’s disease. The test is just as
easy to administer as an at-home pregnancy test with one line equaling positive
and two lines equaling negative for Alzheimer’s disease. Currently no such test
exists, but if it did, would you want to know? What would be the benefits or
detrimental aspects of knowing? The text states that Anglo males are at a
higher risk for suicide; would the availability of such a test increase the
rates of suicide? Some have speculated that Alzheimer’s disease or just
dementia in general is harder on the family members and caregivers than the patient
with the disease. The text mentions that caregivers are at an increased risk to
develop depression, stress-related disorders, problems with health, and a
strain on interpersonal relationships. Often caregivers are faced with
extremely difficult decisions related to treatment options, personal and family
sacrifices, and so many more. How would you prepare for what to expect related
to being a caregiver or dealing with a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer’s
disease? Would you recommend family therapy? What other types of
recommendations would you provide? What types of things would you recommend as
“self-care” for the caregiver(s)?
