Hi, I am a 27 year old girl. My father is a memory loss patient after a fatal accident 3 years ago. I am staying with him and trying my best to make his life easy. I feel in the process the stress and the pain of seeing my father's health issue, I have been feeling depressed. What can I do to make my mental health stable to take care of him?

You need to take out some time for yourself and relax. You may choose from activities like swimming, going out for a morning walk, etc doing something positive which makes you happy. Yoga classes can also help you. Practicing some kind of meditation daily for 20-30 minutes can greatly relieve the stress. Meanwhile, you may also request a friend/relative to share your responsibility, of taking care of your father, for few hours in a day/week.
