Thanks. How about psuedo-bulbar affect in dementia hospice patients? Do you know of any treatments, besides complete sedation.

Care is ALWAYS the first step and then the minor medications for calming but sometimes the only way to gain control is sedation - especially for physical agitation. It is the most difficult symptom to control but there are new meds out there that are really helpful - Rivastigmine patch that goes into the skin, Haloperidol "liquid needles" - a compounding liquid version that is absorbed through the skin - these for patients whom you can't get close to or are unwilling /unable to take oral medications.
