Extract

The underlying causes of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) can be related to biologic factors, such as changes in brain morphology and neurotransmitter functions, and to personal factors, such as previous personality, psychological defenses, and coping strategies. We must also consider the extent to which environmental factors contribute to the etiology of BPSD.
