SUMMARY:Intervenciones conductuales como tratamiento de primera línea para la demencia
DESCRIPTION:El deterioro cognitivo en pacientes con demencia es progresivo y crea una angustia psicológica significativa. Esto\, combinado con los trastornos conductuales de la demencia\, da como resultado desafíos aún mayores para los cuidadores. El grado de los síntomas asociados y el nivel de perturbación de la vida familiar\, así como la seguridad del paciente\, a menudo conducen a decisiones con respecto a la atención a largo plazo. Algunos de los trastornos conductuales más comunes asociados con la demencia son la agitación\, la agresión verbal (obscenidades\, acusaciones\, etc.)\, la agresión física (caminar\, morder\, golpear)\, la deambulación\, el acaparamiento\, los trastornos del sueño\, la inhibición sexual y las alucinaciones. El Dr. Néstor H. Praderío dirigirá una discusión sincera sobre el potencial de aumento de los peligros asociados con los problemas de comportamiento\, así como los estragos que pueden crear para el agotamiento del cuidador y el bienestar general del paciente. Incluirá una revisión de los enfoques no farmacológicos para abordar los trastornos conductuales generales. \n
