The Anxiety and Depression in Dementia Research (ADDResearch) Network international symposium aims to bring together experts from diverse backgrounds (people with lived experience, clinicians and researchers) to present their perspectives, including the latest research from across the globe, focused on helping people living with dementia who experience depression and/ or anxiety.

An expert panel discussion with audience Q&A took place on Friday, 17 September 2021 to discuss where we need to focus research, clinical practice and policy development moving forward, including practical strategies that carers can use to help people living with dementia.

Duration: 2h 33mins

Disinhibited behaviours are actions which seem tactless, rude or even offensive. They occur when a person’s words and/or actions don’t follow the generally understood social rules about what or where to say or do something.

If a person living with dementia is disinhibited in their behaviour, this can attract attention to them and they may feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. It can be stressful for staff, families and carers too.
