Abstract
Behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms (primarily depression, anxiety, apathy, agitation, delusions, hallucinations, and sleep disturbances and disinhibition) can be common and challenging to manage among patients diagnosed with cognitive impairment and dementia. Management of these conditions requires a multimodal, individualized approach that emphasizes nonpharmacologic interventions first with careful use of pharmacotherapy. Comprehensive care should address comorbidities, polypharmacy, and caregiver support.
