It's either progressive or non-progressive dementia, and the physical being must be examined first to rule out causes for the symptoms of dementia, before the neurological testing begins.

There are communities and hospitals that deal with behavior problems - but the hospitals treat them and discharge them to facilities that specialize in dementia care - not pscyh. wards.

- The 36-Hour Day - A helpful book about memory loss in old age
I bought this book for the first time a number of years ago at the request of my mother, who wanted me to understand what she was dealing with when my stepfather developed Alzheimer's disease. It was so helpful to me at that time that I recently bought another copy to give to friends whose mother appears to be becoming confused.

This book had been recommended to me. I bought the book as a gift for a care giver. The care giver said the book was very informative.
