Question 2
If you suspect your partner or relative is depressed or anxious it is best not to get involved.
A. True

B. False
 

The correct answer is B.

It is common for someone with heart failure to feel depressed or anxious now and then but if you see the symptoms persisting in your partner or relative for more than 2 weeks it is important that you seek help. Depression and anxiety are treatable conditions which if managed properly can improve the quality of life of both your partner or relative and you, as the caregiver.
