Alzheimer’s disease Behavioral Symptoms
First thing to do to understand the behavioral symptoms of people with AD is to try rationalizing the person’s behavior, which may be the result of the environmental factors of extreme weather conditions. Loud noises also affect the behavior of people afflicted with AD that may overwhelm them due to the excessive stimulation from the noisy environment.
A common reason for the display of behavioral symptoms is that they cannot express a need that like hunger, thirst, pain or the need to go to the bathroom. Sometimes people with AD get easily irritated when they cannot get nor do things that they want which results in a behavioral display that can be misinterpreted.
