The changes in the brain which occur in dementia affect people in different ways. These changes can lead to a person living with dementia behaving differently to how they may have behaved in the past. Sometimes people may have difficulty verbally communicating their needs, resulting in frustration, pain or distress, for example, being expressed through their behaviour.
