Abstract
Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) present significant challenges in the care of individuals with dementia, affecting their quality of life and posing burdens for caregivers. This article comprehensively explores the diverse manifestations of BPSD, including agitation, aggression, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and apathy. By elucidating the underlying mechanisms and risk factors contributing to BPSD, as well as the impact on patients and caregivers, this review provides valuable insights into effective management strategies. Interventions encompass a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions tailored to individual needs. Moreover, the importance of person-centered care, caregiver support, and therapeutic communication in addressing BPSD is emphasized. Through a holistic understanding of BPSD and targeted interventions, healthcare professionals can optimize the care and well-being of individuals living with dementia
