BONUS: Short Wave: Caregiving During The Pandemic Takes A Toll - a podcast by NPR

This week's bonus episode of Up First comes from NPR's Short Wave. Caregivers in the "Sandwich Generation" have reported a steep decline in mental health, as did others who had to juggle changes in the amount of caregiving they had to provide to loved ones. Caregivers have struggled with anxiety, depression and PTSD at rates much higher than those without caregiving roles. NPR correspondent Rhitu Chatterjee talks about the study and her reporting with Emily Kwong.
