Abstract
Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) form a significant part of presentation in dementia. BPSD are more common in Alzheimer’s and frontotemporal dementia, and they persist all through the course of dementia. Pharmacological treatment includes cholinergic agents and some antipsychotics. Depression, paranoid symptoms, apathy, and withdrawal symptoms are predominant patterns in BPSD.
