“…For example, it appears possible that psychosocial interventions, which have been shown to effectively reduce depressive symptoms (Brodaty & Hadzi-Pavlovic, 1990;Mittelman, Roth, Coon, & Haley, 2004;Sörensen, Pinquart, & Duberstein, 2002) and burden (Mittelman, Roth, Haley, & Zarit, 2004;Sörensen et al, 2002) among dementia caregivers, may also serve to enhance caregiver health. Specifically, treatments that help caregivers better manage depressive symptoms and reaction to problem behaviors, including psychoeducational and multicomponent interventions (Depp et al, 2003;Mittelman, Roth, Coon et al, 2004;Pusey & Richards, 2001;Sörensen et al, 2002), may have a protective effect on caregiver cardiovascular functioning. However, these assumptions are still preliminary and should be tested empirically.…”
