Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/a>, you\u2019re probably embarrassed by some of the things that your loved one does more often than you want to admit. That embarrassing behavior can take all kinds of forms, too, from yelling in public to expressing their agitation in other ways. Here are some tips you can use to cope.<\/p>\nLimit Crowds<\/strong><\/p>\nSometimes the embarrassing behavior from your loved one is a result of being overstimulated. One way to avoid this is to take your loved one to locations and activities that are less likely to be crowded. By avoiding the mobs of people, your loved one may be less stimulated and can simply enjoy whatever activity you\u2019re engaging in together. This also limits the likelihood of causing a scene where a lot of people might witness your loved one\u2019s behaviors.<\/p>\n
Have Visitors Over<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you or your loved one are particularly concerned about being out in public and being unable to control behavior or reactions, try having visitors over more often. There might still be some embarrassment all the way around, but it\u2019s more of a controlled situation for your loved one. Again, this can lead back to issues with overstimulation and you might be surprised at how much your loved one enjoys having folks over.<\/p>\n
Follow Some General Rules<\/strong><\/p>\nSometimes you can\u2019t avoid being out in a crowd, and that\u2019s fine. But you can follow some general rules while you\u2019re out and about that can help to cut down the possibility of embarrassing anyone. Don\u2019t bring up topics that you know your loved one is likely to become animated or agitated about, for example. And if your loved one does become upset, try to distract him right away with something else. Arguing with your loved one or trying to reason with her can just make the situation worse.<\/p>\n
Limit Trips Out to Essential Ones Only<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen none of these options have the desired result, try limiting trips out in public to just the essential ones. If your loved one has a doctor\u2019s appointment, for example, or if there\u2019s something that she needs to attend with you in person. Then, when the appointment or event is over, come straight home afterward.<\/p>\n
These tips may not work in every situation, but they\u2019re a solid starting point for you.<\/p>\n
