Pharmacological interventions available for persons with dementia to address BPSD symptoms are described in the Clinical Practice Guidelines by Indian Psychiatric Society (Shaji et al., 2018). Non-pharmacological interventions for people with dementia are person-centred and often also involve caregiver participation (Shaji et al., 2018). Some of the interventions available to address behavioural and psychological symptoms associated with dementia include music and dance therapy, multisensory stimulation, reminiscence therapy, etc. (Shaji et al., 2018). The availability of these interventions varies across regions.
