It notes that BPSD can include anger due to unmet needs, anxiety due to environmental cues, and depression due to a lack of purposeful activity. It then provides examples of activities to counter BPSD, such as reminiscence through family visits and memory items, individual hobbies, and ensuring the environment is supportive of residents' needs.
