Actually having dementia and being abusive do not in anyway go hand in hand.
I have just done some intensive training on DEMENTIA. One thing that sticks in my mind is a article that I read that was true. A man was diagnosed with dementia and after 3 years of being in the care of his own wife. They started him on a new drug to try to slow down the process of the symptoms. After 8 months of the drug being given the wife was becoming withdrawn and had bruising when attending a hospital appointment. To cut a long story short, the gentlemen with the condition used to be a wife beater, when he got dementia he forgot, then when he was given the drugs he remembered and continued to beat his wife. As to say they stooped his medication because he was more aggressive when taking it. Yes SOME dementia sufferers get abbusive but not always.
