What I can do as a caregiver

I am not a doctor, but just a caregiver. What I can do is not only caregive, but also know and learn more about medical treatment for dementia, especially such as delusions, hallucinations, agitation/aggression, anxiety, apathy/indifference, irritability/lability and aberrant behavior, whose increase stress for us, caregivers.

For aged persons, dementia is one of inevitable disorders. I always see persons with dementia  whose are under serious conditions, because of incorrect pharmacotherapy.  Not dementia itself.
So I do edit this blog, as possible as actually or practically. 

This blog is translated into English ,based on 'Dr.Kono's Dementia Blog' and his publications(in Japanese). His remarkable works should be applyed to today's treatment for dementia patients. That's why I have introduced his works all over the world.

It is commonly said that first choice is non-pharmacotherapy and second choice is pharmacotherapy, for BPSD. But, I do dot believe it. It's a sophistry. 

Appropriate pharmacotherapy is the first choice for dementia.
