Alzheimer’s disease can affect thinking, mood and behavior in ways that are challenging for both the person living with the disease and their loved ones. Bristol Myers Squibb is studying potential medicines to address these changes in clinical trials to better understand and improve care.
Many families notice changes that go beyond memory loss.
Behavioral changes to look for:
Becoming easily upset or agitated and potentially being aggressive toward you or others.
Seeing or hearing things that aren't there
Feeling suspicious or fearful for no clear reason
Strongly believing untrue things (eg, identity confusion, paranoia)
Through clinical research, scientists and doctors can determine whether a new medical strategy, drug or device is safe and effective for people. New treatments are not discovered without clinical research studies, which rely on study participants like you to evaluate their safety and effectiveness. Participation is voluntary, and study participants may withdraw from the study at any time.
