Hi,
My Mum has early onset Alzheimers (she is only 59) and has recently developed some very aggressive behaviour - shouting, swearing, throwing things, purposely slamming doors and just generally trying to aggravate myself and my other family members. It mainly occurs at night which is obviously the worst time as we're all tired but can't sleep until she does- recently she kept us all awake until 2am until we somehow managed to get her into bed.
I wondered if anyone else has dealt with this successfully and has any tips on how best to cope with it, how (if it's possible) to calm her down?
Any advice would be appreciated!
