This investigation wants to describe the overload experience of the primary family caregiver of the elderly adult with Alzheimer's disease. Considering this, the present qualitative study has applied an interview technique to 10 primary family caregivers. The present information has been analyzed by the content analysis technique. The main findings reveal that most of the caregivers have overload. This is attributed not only because they consider this a demanding roll, they also have a lack of knowledge about the disease, and this caregivers experience feelings like frustration and deep sadness. In most of the cases, presence of family issues has been caused by the lack of support associated to an avoiding behavior from the family members. Finally, a change in general well-being of the caregiver is detected, also professional stagnation and consequences to physical and mental health.
