The Essential Guide to Behavioural Changes in Dementia
Jessica Kingsley Publishers (Verlag)
978-1-78592-855-0 (ISBN)
Did you know that hallucinations, anxiety and personality changes can be symptoms of dementia? This introductory guide explains the most common, but often misunderstood, behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, with reassuring advice for people with dementia and their families.
With straightforward language and real-life case studies, this guide shows the challenges that people with dementia can face, and what family members, carers and people with dementia themselves can do to tackle them. Covering common issues such as anxiety, depression, hallucinations and mood changes, and their causes, impacts and potential treatment options, this is the ideal starting point to understanding this lesser-known side of dementia.
