Sundown syndrome, or sundowning, is a phenomenon in dementia patients characterized by increased confusion and agitation during late afternoon and evening, influenced by factors like disrupted circadian rhythms and fatigue. Effective caregiver strategies include establishing routines and managing environmental light while addressing caregiver stress through support services.
Delirium is a rapidly onset, reversible cognitive disturbance often caused by acute medical issues, while dementia is a gradual and irreversible decline due to chronic neurodegenerative diseases. Accurate differentiation between the two is essential for appropriate treatment and management in older adults.
Dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, is often mischaracterized in terms of lethality as it leads to complications that can be fatal rather than being a direct cause of death; it causes a progressive decline in cognitive and physical health, making patients vulnerable to infections and other health crises. Effective management of nutrition, hydration, and communication is crucial in patient care, with palliative care becoming vital in advanced stages to enhance comfort and quality of life while caregivers play a key role amidst the challenges posed by the disease.
