Managing common behavioral problems in dementia How to improve quality of life for patients and families James R. Burke, MD, PhD; Joel C. Morgenlander, MD VOL 106 / NO 5 / OCTOBER 15, 1999 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE CME learning objectives To recognize the common behavioral symptoms of dementia To learn which environmental measures are useful for controlling disruptive behavior To know when drug therapy is needed and which agents to prescribe This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables This is the fourth of four articles on dementia Preview : Dementia is the most common reason for nursing home placement, and related behavioral symptoms are the primary factors precipitating the decision. Disruptive behaviors such as depression, sleep disturbance, agitation, aggression, and psychosis can tax family members' abilities to care for a loved one who has reached that stage of the illness. Working with families to institute effective management strategies may help delay institutionalization. In this article, Drs Burke and Morgenlander present a systematic approach to identifying and treating common problems in dementia. Burke JR, Morgenlander JC.
