MANAGING THE BEHAVIOURAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SYMPTOMS OF DEMENTIA

  • Lecture 30 minutes followed by 10 minutes Q & A

Behavioural and psychological symptoms (BPSD, Neuropsychiatric symptoms, NPS) occur at some stage in nearly everyone with dementia. The symptoms cause distress to the persons with dementia themselves, to their families, to other residents and to their professional carers. This presentation will cover the multiple causes of BPSD and the evidence for psycho-social and pharmacological strategies illustrated with case vignettes.
