The first step in dealing with the CSS is to recognise whether you are suffering from it or not.
Currently, there is a validated test that helps to find out whether a caregiver is affected by the CSS: the ZARIT caregiver overload test. This test gives you information about the degree to which caring for a dependent person alters your physical, psychological, economic, and social well-being, and the extent to which you are overburdened.
In order to find out the level of strain, you just need to add up the scores for each question, this will give you a total score ranging from 22 to 110 points; the higher the score, the higher the level of strain experienced by the carer.
