Dementia: undertsanding changed behaviour
Dementia can change the way someone feels and behaves. These changes might be subtle or dramatic. They might come and go, or persist. They might lead to the person feeling, saying and doing things that are very out of character.
These changes aren’t deliberate, but they can be upsetting for the person with dementia, and for the people close to them.
