Overview of Neuropsychiatric Impairments & Management of Agitation in Dementia

Neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia are extremely common and often much more troubling than cognitive symptoms. Agitation in particular is very distressing to patients and greatly affect their quality of life. It frequently interferes with delivery of care in medical and nursing homes settings, causes frustration for family members and often limits the capacity for home care. In this lecture we will overview different neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with cognitive impairment with focus on non- pharmacological and pharmacological approaches to management of agitation in light of the current evidence.
