Abstract

Causes of behaviour that challenge in dementia are often thought to be due to reversible factors, such as a urine infection or disrupted sleep-wake cycle. In this review, the authors consider a definition of behaviour that challenges commonly cited causes and management models. Finally, recommendations for an alternative view and subsequent approach to managing behaviour that challenges are suggested.
