Caregivers syndrome

CNN reports that there's a name now for the exhaustion, resentment, anger, depression, debilitation, decline in income, loss of job, household stress, revisiting of childhood hurts, problems with husband, quarreling with others about decisions, worrying about money, disgust with condescending doctors and the desire to pummel a chronically ill loved one even though that would be very, very wrong.

It's called Caregiver's Syndrome.

I'm surprised it took anyone

I'm surprised it took anyone this long to come up with a name for this syndrome that has been around for quite a while. Now I want to know what CNN thinks people should do about it.
