From Loss to Legacy: George Ackerman & Together For Sharon

More Than Memory Loss: The Behavioral Reality of Alzheimer’s

On this Make a Difference Minute, Dr. George T. Grossberg shares an important perspective on Alzheimer’s disease that many families don’t expect. While memory loss is often the most recognized symptom, behavioral changes like anxiety, irritability, paranoia, and even hallucinations can be just as common and often more challenging. These symptoms, known as Alzheimer’s-related psychosis, can deeply impact both the individual and their caregivers. Dr. Grossberg explains what these behaviors look like, why they happen, and why awareness is so important for families navigating this journey.
