“…Firstly, they are an individual adaptive strategy to adjust to or face up to the consequences of dementia [ 6 , 29 , 30 ]. Secondly, they are a response from the environment and its method of coping with changes within the patient [ 31 , 32 ]. Thus, the way patients and their caregivers cope with the disease and the limitations it brings with it amounts to maintaining a relative emotional balance and a positive or negative self-image, the ability to accept (or not) an uncertain future and losing touch with the past, along with adapting to a new care environment, whether it be family or institutional.…”

There is a paucity of empirical research on the use of non-pharmacological interventions to both treat and curb the spread of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) across the globe. This paper examines the biochemical and clinical outlook and the social implications of the condition in relation to psychological aspects that may indicate a direction for further interventions. There is a scarcity of research on the effectiveness of using various psychological aspects of AD, a disease characterized by a process of transition from health and independence to a dependent state with a progressive loss of memory and functional skills. The paper investigates the biochemical and psychological aspects of AD and their significance for improving quality of life for patients with this disease. Psychological interventions based on, among other factors, biochemical studies, are conducted to improve the emotional wellbeing of AD patients and may assist in slowing down the progression of the disease. To date, however, no effective methods of AD treatment have been established.

State-of-the-art literature has been enhancing the significance of personality phenomena in Alzheimer’s dementia (AD). This study seeks to identify the relationships of current and premorbid traits and abnormal dimensions in AD. Five-factor model and axis II personality disorders are taken as references. This research was conducted with two groups, which were assessed using the NEO-FFI and PDQ-4+ in individual interview sessions. Current personality measure: AD Group (n = 44 female participants); premorbid personality measure: AD group informants (n = 40 related participants). Findings suggest that in terms of both premorbidity and current studies, the relevance of the dimensions neuroticism (high) and conscientiousness (low), are the most common explanations found in the personality disorder scales, DSM clusters, Appendix B and the global personality disorder index. These data are relevant for the assessment of personality phenomena in Alzheimer’s disease.
