Mental Health and IgG4-RD – Part Two: A Caregiver’s Perspective

In Part Two of our Mental Health Awareness Month video series, we hear from Katharine, a caregiver, spouse and clinical social worker, who opens up about the emotional toll of watching her husband navigate life with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). She joins Dr. John Stone, leading IgG4-RD physician and researcher, to discuss how caregivers can recognize when a loved one is struggling—and how to approach mental health with compassion, trust, and timing. “It wasn’t easy to watch him decline... I knew exactly what was happening.” —Katharine, caregiver & social worker This conversation is a powerful reminder that mental health is not just the patient’s journey—it’s a shared one. Mental health challenges often come alongside the long diagnostic and treatment road faced by those living with rare and chronic diseases. Mental health is health. We must talk about it—and support it—especially in rare disease care.
