How can insight impairment effect behaviour in someone with dementia?

Answer 1

Insight impairment also known as Dementia is considered a damage of intellect, personality and memory in clear awareness. It can occur in any age but is most prevalent in the old age. It can be controlled by reduction of aggression and chances of arguments.

Answer 2

A person with an insight impairment usually has one or more of the following difficulties:

Impaired self-monitoring - They might not notice mistakes they make and are not getting internal feedback related to their behavior, task performance, or personality.

Impaired thinking and reasoning - Even if the person is aware of an impairment or error, they won't be able to draw a connection between the problem and the consequences of it.

Impaired concentration and attention - This means someone may have difficulty taking in new information or feedback about their abilities or task performance. So they might not even notice difficulties and failures on tasks or in their interpersonal relationships.

Impaired memory - This means someone may have difficulty storing and retrieving information about their abilities and performance and may forget problems or errors. They may also think of themselves as they were before the impairment.

Lack of acceptance and emotional coping - Emotionally speaking, a person may have difficulty accepting changes in their physical, cognitive or behavioral functioning. That means they may not be able, ready, and willing enough to accept or handle major changes in their life plans, goals, or hopes as a result of their injury or impairment.

So imagine being mean to others and not knowing you are doing it, and not knowing why others seem so hard on you.
