How to Deal with Aggression in Alzheimer's Patients
Doctors and nurses need a caregiver's help
People with Alzheimer’s aren’t the best sources of information, even when the questions are about themselves, so healthcare professionals are going to need a lot of help from you. A caregiver or loved one has an important role to help provide details about your loved one with Alzheimer’s. This includes medical history, medication list, and details about his or her regular behavior. The caregiver will probably be able to give the most accurate account of the person’s disease progression and cognitive decline, and your loved one is going to need your support through this time if he or she is getting violent or aggressive. As a caregiver, taking care of a person with Alzheimer’s can often require a lot of unconditional love and patience.
