Abstract
The behavioral disturbances that are most common in Alzheimer's disease are not those directly associated with the core characteristics of the disease; however, they often cause the most difficult problems of management. These disturbances include agitation, hallucinations, and delusions. This article reviews their prevalence, etiology, differential diagnosis, and management.
