Summarises new evidence on the physical and mental health of carers. The review analyses the findings from a cross-sectional study in England, which reported that around 20 per cent of carers experienced common mental disorders, highlighting that this poor mental health was directly related to caring rather than other stressors. A cohort study in Australia reported that more than a third of carers experienced deterioration of their physical or mental health after starting caring. Both studies offer insights for health and social care service providers in designing assessments and targeting support for carers. (Edited publisher abstract)
