'I've wanted to run away from being husband's carer'
The work is exhausting, Stevie said, but the unpredictability of her husband's condition is what worries her the most.
According to Carers Scotland there are about 887,815 people in Scotland who support loved ones with chronic illnesses, including conditions such as dementia. And it further suggested that 87% of Scotland's general public think the government should provide additional support to unpaid carers, including more financial support and investment in care and support services.Director of Carers Scotland, Richard Meade, said many carers had sacrificed their health so they could care for loved ones over the course of the pandemic.
As for Stevie, she hopes that by sharing her story, she might help raise awareness of the isolation many carers face day to day.
