Making the nightmare of Alzheimer's bearable

Life, Dr Nithi Mahanonda, Published on 02/12/2014

» Alzheimer's disease usually doesn't reveal any symptoms until the condition is quite severe. Patients may feel frustrated and get moody for no reason. Some even attack others or throw tantrums out of the blue. It is not yet been known what causes Alzheimer's, or what triggers the bad temper. It could be the disease itself or environmental factors. Patients become annoyed without warning, so caregivers need to notice whether there is anything in particular that causes the outbursts.
