Risks and Causes
What are the Causes of Caregiver Burnout?
Are you the kind of person who never says "no" to others? Do you believe you can always do more? Are you a perfectionist in everything you do? If so, you may be at high risk for causing caregiver burnout.
Setting high expectations for yourself can help you achieve short-term, high-intensity goals, but caring for a child with disabilities is a long-term commitment and it can be difficult to maintain peak performance indefinitely. Caring for others without regard for your own wellbeing is a danger to both your physical and emotional health, often leading to caregiver burnout. Attempting to be and do all for the people you love may prevent you from doing anything well. That is the primary cause of caregiver burnout.
