The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia and carer mental health: an international multicentre study

However, while these restrictions reduce the viral spread of COVID-19, they may exacerbate behavioural and cognitive symptoms in dementia patients and increase pressure on caregiving.

“…Some research has already investigated this to an extent; a rapid review of evidence related to the impact of COVID-19 isolation measures on mental health among people with dementia found that most studies identified worsening behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) (28). Some of the research found these results through subjective assessments made by caregivers (29), qualitative interviews of people with dementia and their caregivers (30,31), and across international contexts (32).…”

“…Bretonniere et al found that the duration of confinement and increased stress of caregivers significantly correlate with the severity of neuropsychiatric symptoms [ 5 ]. Besides, limited understanding of the COVID-19 situation and lack of outpatient rehabilitation services are also associated with a deterioration of neuropsychiatric symptoms [ 114 , 116 ]. Apart from the aforementioned studies completed after 1–2 months of COVID-19 lockdown, Chen et al reported a longitudinal 1-year follow-up study comparing cognitive function of AD patients before and after COVID-19 lockdown to determine the long-term impact of confinement on AD patients.…”
