Host: Joni Aldrich Guest: Nataly Rubinstein (Author and Dementia Expert) Topic: How to Care for a Brain Illness Patient Info: Dementia is a mental deterioration that impairs judgment, thinking and memory. One disturbing dementia symptom is aggression. Understanding the cause of aggression can help caregivers manage it properly, and avoid or reduce the severity of future episodes. Aggression is commonly paired with personality changes, inability to make rational decisions, and paranoia. In this show, we discuss this very important topic that many dementia caregivers face every day. Always remember that keeping you, the caregiver, safe is the absolute first priority. If you feel threatened, leave the area and call for help!
