DEMYSTIFYING DIFFICULT BEHAVIOR

Unbecoming conduct is usually an expression of unmet needs. Here’s how to help your relative be more like the person he or she wants to be.

Although people in the middle stage of Alzheimer’s are very different from one another, their challenging behavior generally falls into four categories:

• A loss of control, which includes disinhibition, unusual movements, sleep and appetite changes, and an odd kind of euphoria

• Psychosis, which includes hallucinations and delusions

• Mood disorder, which includes depression, anxiety, and apathy

• Agitation, including aggression and irritability or resistance
