Increased behavioral problems in the evening and during the night. Contributing factors: exhaustion, upset internal clock, reduced lightning and increased shadows, caregiver exhaustion and frustration, disorientation. Caution unknown effectiveness and safety, generally unregulated, can interact with prescription medications: axona, caprylic acid, (cid:862)medial food(cid:863, coconut oil, coenzyme q10, unknown effectiveness, ginkgo biloba, no better than a placebo, tramiprosate, taurine, (cid:862)medi(cid:272)al food(cid:863) Beta-amyloid blocking: beta-amyloid protein fragments main component of plaques. Tau protein: chief components of tangles, keep them from collapsing. Modification of environment, tasks, etc. to reduce behavioral symptoms. Modifying the root cause (e. g pain) can reduce the behaviour (e. g aggression) Catching problems early can help prevent escalation. Problematic behaviors might be related to unmet needs: sensory deprivation, boredom, loneliness. People learn connections between behaviors and consequences.
