Unusual behaviour
Alzheimer's disease can cause a person to exhibit unusual and unpredictable behaviour that challenges caregivers, such as severe mood swings, verbal or physical aggression, combativeness, repetition of words, and wandering. These behavioural changes can lead to frustration and tension, for people with Alzheimer's and for their caregivers. It is important to remember that the person is not acting this way on purpose, and to analyse probable causes and develop care adjustments.
