Oct. 14, 2018 Hypersexual Behavior Issues with Dementia Symtoms – Addressing Tough Symptoms

On October 14th, the Strategy Show was about hypersexuality and inappropriate sexual behavior when a person is displaying dementia symptoms. How do we address these issues in a calm manner while keeping everyone safe? I have some ideas for you! These are tough issues and can be difficult to deal with. Many of us see these behaviors at home. Spouses report loved ones grabbing them in person space areas of their body at home and in public. Other complaints and areas of concern are inappropriate touching of family members, keeping children safe, taking clothes off at strange times and more. I will try to explain why this might happen, and what you can do to avert inappropriate behaviors.
