Understanding Aggression in Dementia

Aggression in dementia isn't a choice, it's the brain's way of screaming for help.

When your loved one lashes out, they're often communicating pain, fear,

or exhaustion they can't express in words. Check for physical discomfort first

because pain is the number one hidden trigger. Stay calm, validate their feelings,

and never take it personally. Create predictable routines and simplify tasks to prevent

frustration. Remember, the anger targets you but it's never about you.

Understanding this transforms how you respond and protects both of you from unnecessary pain.
