Although commonly considered a memory related disease, nearly all people with dementia will experience distressing non-memory related symptoms such as agitation, aggression, depression and other psychiatric and behavioral symptoms. Psychiatric and behavioral symptoms of dementia not only impact the physical and mental health of those diagnosed, but also family members and caregivers. Specifically, these symptoms contribute greatly to depression and worsening emotional health in family caregivers, as well as increased care burden for caregivers and healthcare providers. Additionally, these symptoms can be extremely financially costly to individual families affected by the disease, as well as to the overarching healthcare system.
