Writing as Stress-Reducer for Alzheimer's Caregivers

(Source: Newswise) - For families who provide care to Alzheimer's

patients [or other type of dementia], stress and isolation can be a

difficult burden. A University of Iowa researcher is conducting an

Internet-based study to see if writing can help reduce caregiving

stress.

Participants in the study do not need to be " good writers " or worry

about spelling or grammar - it is the effect of the writing that is

being studied.
