It is important to understand that as Alzheimer’s disease continues to destroy memory and mental skills, it also begins to alter emotions and behaviors. Approximately 70 to 90 percent of Alzheimer’s patients eventually develop behavioral symptoms; therefore, Lisa can't emphasize enough the importance of being able to recognize these behavioral symptoms and what might have triggered them.
Agitation is one of the most common behaviors seen with dementia and can be displayed in a variety of ways, including restlessness, pacing, fear, and/ or changes in body language or facial expressions. Agitation can also easily escalate to aggression if not responded to appropriately.
