Description:
Agitation is among the most common behavioral symptoms in patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s dementia. It exacts a significant burden on patients because it is associated with not only greater morbidity and mortality, but also a faster cognitive and functional decline. This activity reviews nonpharmacological approaches to the treatment of agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia.
Learning Objectives:
• Discuss the epidemiology of agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease and its burden on patients, caregivers, and the healthcare system
• Identify recommended nonpharmacological interventions for agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease
