As a caregiver, your day is filled with planning and organizing your loved one’s routines and then, suddenly, a mood shifts. They become agitated or unjustifiably paranoid. How do you respond? Why did this happen?
Behavior changes do occur in those with dementia and can be triggered by a change in environment, an ailment or a number of other causes. While the caregiver might not have control over the behavior, they can manage how they react. The Southern Caregiver Resource Center has a great fact sheet for dealing with changes in behaviors and how to react.
