Dementia patients may exhibit strange behaviors due to changes in brain function that affect cognition, memory, and emotional regulation. These changes can lead to confusion, anxiety, and difficulty in processing information, resulting in reactions that may seem unusual or inappropriate. Additionally, they may struggle to communicate their needs or feelings, which can manifest as agitation or withdrawal. Understanding these behaviors as symptoms of the disease rather than intentional actions can help caregivers respond more compassionately.

Getting a dementia diagnosis is crucial for several reasons. It enables individuals and their families to understand the specific type of dementia, plan for the future, and access appropriate treatments and support services. Early diagnosis also allows for better management of symptoms, potential participation in clinical trials, and the opportunity to make necessary legal and financial arrangements while the person still has the capacity to do so. Ultimately, it promotes better quality of life for both patients and caregivers.

My Mother has been on Depakote (treating agitation due to dementia) for at least 2-3 years. She was recently taken off of this drug. I was under the impression that she would have to be weaned from this drug, but was told that it was not necessary. So far, so good. I think she has reached a point in the disease that these drugs are no longer necessary. She seems a little more with it and hopefully, not as sleepy. This may also be a reason why she is always so cold, but she is also diabetic.
Alzheimers is a type of dementia so you can not really compare the two.However alzheimers is a very agressive disease so therefore i would consider it to be the worst of the two.
