Understanding Aggression in Dementia Patients

Aggression in dementia patients can be difficult for caregivers, but it’s often a symptom of the condition rather than intentional behavior. Triggers such as pain, hunger, fatigue, or changes in routine can lead to agitation. Recognizing these triggers is the first step in managing aggressive behavior. Maintaining a calm environment, using gentle communication, and offering reassurance can help reduce episodes of aggression. Engaging patients in familiar activities can also redirect their attention and improve mood. Caregivers must stay patient, empathetic, and supportive to provide effective care.
