Let’s review what you have learned
- People with dementia may experience behaviour changes that are distressing or upsetting to them or those around them.
- It is helpful to identify what happens before the stressful behaviour to understand what might cause it or make it worse.
-
It is also helpful to identify how you usually respond, what you feel or what you do.
- Take a deep breath and think about the best ways to respond that will be the least distressing to you and the person you care for.
- Try different responses and approaches, as the first one does not always work.
- Seek professional help if you cannot manage a situation.
