What impact could the attitudes and behaviours of others have on an individual living with dementia?

The implication of dementia on a person and his or her relatives and who care for them can be devastating. In the early stages of the disease, life of a person with dementia and their families and relatives may not change a great deal. But when dementia becomes more serious however, home life for the person with dementia will not be easy as family and relatives will find it tiring and stressful. It is quite common people with dementia have sleep disturbance. So family and relative may experience sleep deprivation. The following impact can occur:
·        Stress
·        Melancholy
·        Tiring
·        Insomnia
·        Difficulties maintaining family life and work life          balance
·        Difficulties maintaining social life
·        Physical and emotional harm
