Mood swings

People with Dementia may have quick changes in their moods without explanation which can be challenging for them and their carers. If you understand why this happens it will help you to manage these changes in mood which will help you and person you care for.

Being a carer can lead to a range of emotions that can be hard to manage which impact your interactions with the person you care for. Through our Virtual Carers Centre you can learn more about why you may be feeling a particular way and some of the strategies that could help you can manage this.
