Description
Baoyu Chen and co-authors surveyed in 2024 how China's medical community spots and treats the behavioral and mental symptoms of dementia. Such symptoms, from agitation to apathy, are core to the disease, yet how well staff know them was unmapped. A semi-structured questionnaire went to doctors and nurses across all provinces. It probed how often the symptoms are seen, which tools assess them, and which drug and non-drug responses staff reach for.
Most staff rated the symptoms as important. Brain doctors and psychiatrists differed in which symptoms they spot and how they treat. About a quarter in each group would skip non-drug care. Antipsychotics were heavily used, chosen by most for aggression and by over four in five for psychosis. A third favored traditional Chinese medicine.
