Behavioural issues are common in neurocognitive
disorders (NCDs) and can significantly impact the lives of individuals affected
and their caregivers. These issues may include agitation, aggression,
wandering, sun downing (increased confusion and agitation in the late afternoon
or evening), paranoia, hallucinations, and disinhibition.
Such behaviours can arise due to changes in brain
structure and function, as well as the individual's difficulty in processing
and responding to stimuli effectively. They may also result from frustration,
fear, or discomfort experienced by the individual due to their cognitive
impairment.
Managing behavioural issues in NCDs often
requires a multifaceted approach, including environmental modifications,
behavioural interventions, medication management, and support for caregivers.
Creating a calm, structured environment, providing reassurance, and engaging in
activities that promote relaxation and cognitive stimulation can help reduce
behavioural symptoms. Additionally, caregiver education and support are
essential for effectively managing and coping with these challenging behaviours
while maintaining the individual's safety and dignity.
