Jennie, a caregiver's burden and mental suffering can sometimes be even greater than the patient himself.You need to take real good care about your emotional state and take medicine regularly. You should know that the anti-depresssants can only be effective at least 2 to 3 weeks after taking. The fact that you no longer work now ( if you used to work full time) can be a major reason for your depression. Don't let yourself idle around. Try to engage yourself with activities that make time pass more easily. Talk to the psychiatrist and I am sure professional help works.
