Over 11 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer's or other dementias. New data suggest that 44.58 million caregivers in the U.S. perform the equivalent of an estimated $873.5 billion worth of labor each year—or 3.2% of the U.S. GDP. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is valued at $346.6 billion, contributing nearly 40% of the total family caregiving valuation despite only accounting for 25.7% of caregivers. (Sources pinned in comments) The ramifications are clear: Without robust support for caregivers, our healthcare system and the economy will continue to be overwhelmed. It can be rewarding to be a?caregiver?for someone with AD. But it can be challenging, too. And being a caregiver can take a toll on your mental and physical health. That's why you need to get support. We are raising awareness on?GoodRx?about?#Elevmi,?a new phone application for AD caregivers. It's designed to help you manage and understand your loved one's condition while supporting your mental health and wellness. Remember: Everyone needs support. If this could help someone you know, please share it with them—it could be the extra support they need to navigate the physical and emotional burden of the disease while providing continuous monitoring for their loved ones. #OtsukaPrecisionHealth #Caregivers #Alzheimers #FamilyCaregivers #OPH #Elevmi
