    Possible treatment and management of BPSD. What are Behavioural and Psychological symptoms of Dementia? Part 3

    The management of BPSD often involves a combination of interventions including both non-pharmacological and pharmacological, and non-pharmacological is always the priority and must be used first. There is a significant list of non-pharmacological interventions. There is a place for pharmacological approaches, but these must be a last resort once all other interventions have failed, that they have been documented and that the person who will receive this invention has given their consent, or if they are unable to provided informed consent, then the consent of the legal representative have provided consent.   Link to the Australia legislation ref the use of restraints. https://www.health.gov.au/topics/aged-care/providing-aged-care-services/training-and-guidance/restrictive-practices-in-aged-care-a-last-resort About me My name is Tim England and I’m the host and creator of the podcasts Dementia Demystified.

    What are Behavioural and Psychological symptoms of Dementia? Part 1.

    Behavioural and Psychological symptoms of Dementia or BPSD, is a way of describing a broad range of non-cognitive symptoms that your loved one with dementia can display.  BPSD falls into 5 broad areas, such as Cognitive, Motor, Verbal, Emotional, and Vegetative, and according to research your loved one with dementia will experience several BPSD as their dementia progresses.  Signs of BPSD will vary greatly in both type and severity and can vary greatly on a day-by-day basis. However, there is always a reason for a behaviour… remember that… There is always a reason… BPSD often has a significant impact on the person with dementia, you as their carer, your family, professional care staff, and has been linked to premature admission to residential care, increased hospitalisation, distress for carers and reduced functional ability for people with dementia.

    Dementia and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. Part 2.

    While CTE may be a novel neurodegenerative disease it does have a well recorded history.  CTE is well known about and is a neurodegenerative disease which is linked to repeated head trauma. Hall mark symptoms often include changes in behaviour and behavioural problems, problems with mood swings, and problems with thinking. This disease is progressive and becomes worse over time and CTE can result in dementia. However, until 20 years ago CTE was believed to only effect retires boxers, but we now know that CTE can develop in people who have never put on a pair of boxing gloves.  Today we will discuss the signs and symptoms and look at in more detail the cause of CTE.
