Final Answer :
A, C, E
Explanation :
Caregiver stress, anxiety, and depression are common conditions that can affect individuals who are caring for elderly or ill family members due to the high levels of stress and emotional burden associated with caregiving roles. Bipolar disorder and agoraphobia are specific psychiatric conditions that are not directly related to the role of caregiving.
