Alzheimer’s and Aging Issues:
Behaviors that present with Alzheimer’s (agitation, aggression, anxiety, hallucinations, sleep disturbances, lewdness and vulgar language) can be the most distressing, difficult, gut-wrenching part of the disease process. Therapy can be helpful (in conjunction with the care of a primary care physician or geriatric psychiatric physician) in working with the individual and family or care providers, to identify triggers, monitor medication and develop coping skills. It is also helpful in assisting with understanding, identifying and adapting to the stages of Alzheimer’s.
