RESUMEN: Las enfermedades mentales pueden generar en las personas que las padecen un gran nivel de dependencia, necesitando por ello la ayuda y el cuidado de otros. Las personas que suelen asumir este cuidado son familiares cercanos y, generalmente, se trata de mujeres. Las consecuencias de estas enfermedades no solo afectan a los enfermos, también tiene repercusión en aquellas personas que les prestan cuidados. Estos cuidadores se enfrentan a una gran carga y, al centrarse en atender las necesidades del enfermo, tienden a relegar las suyas a un segundo plano. Esto no solo lleva a una sobrecarga del cuidador o burnout, sino que también tiene efectos negativos en las diversas esferas de la vida y la salud de éste. Desde Enfermería se debe tener en cuenta esta situación e intentar ayudar tanto a la persona enferma como al cuidador, ya que la salud de ambos es igual de importante. Además, a parte de las ayudas prestadas desde Enfermería, también existen recursos a los que puede acceder el cuidador en caso de verse sobrepasado.
ABSTRACT: Mental illnesses can generate a high level of dependency in people who suffer from them, needing the help and care of others. The people who usually assume this care are close relatives and, generally, they are women. The consequences of these diseases not only affect the sick person, they also have an impact on those who care for them. These caregivers face a great burden and, by focusing on attending to the patient's needs, they tend to relegate their own to the background. This not only leads to caregiver overload or burnout, but also has negative effects on the various spheres of life and health. Nursing must take this situation into account and try to help both the sick person and the caregiver, since the health of both is just as important. In addition, apart from the aid provided from Nursing, there are also resources that the caregiver can access in case of being overwhelmed.
