Coping with dementia behaviour changes :

"Aggressive behaviour in dementia

In the later stages of dementia, some people with dementia will develop what's known as behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD).

The symptoms of BPSD can include:

• increased agitation
• aggression (shouting or screaming, verbal abuse, and sometimes physical abuse)
• delusions (unusual beliefs not based on reality)
• hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that do not exist)"

Does that include whispering? Sniffing young girls hair?

Or is that the pervert side of him coming out?

The symptoms of BPSD can include:

increased agitation
aggression (shouting or screaming, verbal abuse, and sometimes physical abuse)
delusions (unusual beliefs not based on reality)
hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that do not exist)”

Another thing that can occur with dementia is throwing one’s own excrement at people.

My mom had dementia. These symptoms too.

Joe’s got it in spades.
