Social factors and depression in carers of people with dementia.
Research has highlighted the influence of psychosocial factors on the wellbeing of carers of people with dementia. This study aimed to investigate the interrelationships between life events, depression and social support in carers of people with dementia. ⋯ Carers of people with dementia appear more vulnerable to depression in the context of the caring experience rather than threatening life events.
