Here is an article about the health costs of stress on the adult child providing care to a parent with Alzheimer's. The article doesn't mention a recent study which showed little difference between the stress levels experienced by adult children acting as long distance caregivers, and those who were in daily or weekly contact.
Our mission as scientists at the Fremont Street Center is to understand the exact source of this stress. Why is it pleasurable for parents to care for children, and life draining for children to care for parents?
