Coping with Agitation
Alzheimer’s is a complicated disease. The symptoms we see in our loved ones reflect damage to different parts of their brain, including areas other than those involved with memory and thinking clearly. For example, areas that can also be compromised include those that control emotion, and those that are responsible for creating a person’s personality. This damage can result in unusual and unexplained feelings of fear and irritation in your loved one.
