Psychiatric Care for Alzheimer's and Other Dementias in San Antonio

Alzheimer's disease and other dementias primarily affect memory and thinking, but they often come with related psychiatric symptoms that can be just as challenging to manage. These can include psychosis, such as confusion about people or surroundings; behavioral changes, such as agitation or irritability; and mood instability, including sadness, anxiety, or unpredictable emotional shifts. These symptoms can be distressing for both patients and the family members supporting them. Careful psychiatric management can help ease these symptoms and improve quality of life for patients and caregivers alike.
