Know The Agression Triggers!

Agressive behaviors can flare up without warning. There  may not be an obvious cause. However, often there are triggers that caregivers can look for. By knowing the triggers, you may be able to lower the frustration level of the person with Alzheimer’s disease. This can reduce the number of aggressive outbursts.

Common triggers of Alzheimer’s aggression:

• Discomfort caused by lack of sleep, side effects
  from medication, or pain that the person is not able to describe
• The surrounding environment, such as loud
  noises, busyness around the person, or clutter
• Confusion caused by being asked too many
  questions at once, trying to understand complex instructions, or feeling the
  stress of caregivers
