Abstract

AbstractAlthough the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is memory loss, behavioural and psychiatric disturbances are common and often pose the greatest problems for carers and patients. Modifying behavioural disturbance in AD sufferers can delay institutionalization and improve the quality of life of patient and caregiver. The failure to appreciate the importance of the behavioural and psychiatric disturbances in AD and their impact on the care of patients in the community has resulted in a dearth of services, resources and research into the management of the non‐cognitive aspects of this illness.
