Alzheimer's disease
Hi. You need to give valid reasons in your 'edit note' for the changes you are making. If they are important (or radical) changes, you need to look at using the discussion page. --Matt Lewis (talk) 00:06, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

I did provide reason in the box. Basically, Alzheimer patients are only rarely aggressive without provocation. They just resist care because they do not understand why it has to be done and if the caregiver insists in providing care they defent themselves and might strike out. They consider the caregive to be an aggressor.


 * Which box did you use? I can't see them.


 * I do work with AD. In the earlier stages, you might be right. The problem is they start to become delusional - they can get aggressive over 'invented' provocations. They can become very paranoid, angry and mistrusting - always ready to strike out. Also, as the disease progresses, their 'wires' get crossed, and all kinds of unpredictable things can happen as their brain malfunctions. It can start at different times with different people. --Matt Lewis (talk) 00:48, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
