In many instances the primary care givers, especially if they are a close family member such a s a spouse or a parent are emotionally stressed as they have to cope with the added responsibilities. Many support groups are available these days that provide emotional support and guidance not only to the persons suffering from this disorder but to their primary care givers as well
