Extract

Caring for a patient with Alzheimer's disease who has difficult behavior does not have to be depressing, frustrating, overwhelming, or sad. Caregivers can develop the skills to manage successfully and eventually prevent difficult behaviors from occurring while maximizing their patient's ability to function. This can make the caregiving experience more rewarding and improve the quality of life of both the patient and the caregiver.
