Possible treatment and management of BPSD. What are Behavioural and Psychological symptoms of Dementia? Part 3
The management of BPSD often involves a combination of interventions including both non-pharmacological and pharmacological, and non-pharmacological is always the priority and must be used first. There is a significant list of non-pharmacological interventions.
There is a place for pharmacological approaches, but these must be a last resort once all other interventions have failed, that they have been documented and that the person who will receive this invention has given their consent, or if they are unable to provided informed consent, then the consent of the legal representative have provided consent.

About me
My name is Tim England and I’m the host and creator of the podcasts Dementia Demystified. I’m also a Dementia Champion and a leading voice on dementia in Australia and I have been active in this area for over 14 years.
As a freelance dementia consultant and educator who De-mystifies and De-stigmatises dementia I advocate for people living with dementia and their families to live well. With a Masters of Dementia, I’m a Dementia Specialist, Family Advocate, Educator, Columnist, Public Speaker, and an Advanced Care Planner. My family has also been touched by dementia.
I hosted hundreds of free public dementia education events to raise the awareness of dementia. I’ve been featured in the Australian Journal of Dementia Care and was awarded the ‘Paul Harris Medal’ from Rotary International for Community Service.
My new YouTube channel called Ask a Dementia Champion has the goal of raising the level of dementia awareness and knowledge in the community and to de-stigmatise dementia more broadly.
Finally, I’m featured in the international award-winning dementia documentary Ticktyboo – a Secret in Plain Sight, been interviewed numerous times by community and commercial radio and international Youtubers such as the award winning All Home Care Matters, and I’ve spoken at National Dementia Conferences.
So, if you a looking for someone who can share information about dementias pathology, the impact of dementia on society, and what can be done to help, then you’ve come to the right place.
