Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT)

Relying on the interplay between cognitive function, emotions and behavior, CBT interventions in dementia are focused on the development of behavioral strategies such as increasing the level of activity, introducing pleasant activities in daily routines, practical problem solving, and implementing compensatory strategies or tools. Such interventions contribute to the treatment of depressive and anxiety symptoms of people with dementia.
