Everyday Dementia Guide

25. What to do about distress and agitation


Listen Later

With dementia often comes behaviors that can be difficult both for the care partner and the person living with the disease. This month we're talking about how to best work through those behaviors and minimize their impacts. This week we're tackling distress and agitation. These things can come up at inconvenient times or be way more intense than they were before the disease and we're talking about how to de-escalate the situation, how to prevent these behaviors in the future and how to take care of yourself.
