Agitation often accompanies dementia and often precedes the diagnosis of common age-related disorders of cognition such as Alzheimer’s disease. More than 80% of people who develop AD eventually become agitated or aggressive.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The cause is the most important factor to consider if you see someone with dementia who is agitated. We know that most behaviors that we may see as challenging in someone with dementia are really an effort to communicate something. You are charged with figuring that “something” out.\u00a0The cause can range from\u00a0boredom\u00a0to pain to a\u00a0need for exercise. One study found that discomfort was the cause behind many occasions of agitation in nursing home<\/a> residents with dementia. This was particularly true for agitation including non-aggressive physical behavior (such as restlessness) and for verbal agitation (such as calling out).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You can separate dementia into two main groups based on the affected parts of the brain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These occur due to problems in the outer layers of the brain (cerebral cortex). They\u2019re fundamental to language and memory. Individuals with these forms of dementia generally can\u2019t understand language, can\u2019t remember words and have severe memory loss. Creutzfeldt-Jakob and Alzheimer\u2019s disease are a couple of types of cortical dementia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These occur due to issues in brain parts underneath the cortex. Individuals with these dementias often display changes in their ability to begin activities and in their speed of thinking. Usually, those with subcortical dementia don\u2019t struggle with language problems or forgetfulness. Huntington\u2019s disease, Parkinson\u2019s disease and HIV may cause subcortical dementias.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

There\u2019s been an association between cannabis and memory problems for quite some time. Therefore, it\u2019s only natural you\u2019d be a little concerned with potential side effects it may cause to your loved one when using it to treat their cognitive decline.<\/p>

Although it\u2019s true marijuana can bring on short-term memory loss \u2014 you forget things at the moment when the herb is active in your system \u2014 the only long-term memory loss issues it demonstrated has been in those who use the herb regularly over a span of several years. Studies now demonstrate THC may delay Alzheimer\u2019s plaque\u00a0better than medications presently on the market today.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
