Understanding symptoms
Dementia can affect the personality and behaviour of the person living with the disease. Learn more about understanding and responding to these changes associated with dementia.
Behaviours associated with complex and challenging mental health, dementia or other neurological conditions include aggression, wandering and agitation.
These apparent changes in the personality of the person with the disease are a major source of distress both to the person who is presenting the behaviours and to those who experience them – the caregiver, the family members, and the service providers in all sectors of the healthcare system.
