The behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) can have a devastating impact on carers and family. Here, the authors describe a challenging case of a man with Alzheimer's dementia (AD), posterior cortical atrophy variant (PCA) who presented with severe BPSD, but discuss how non‐pharmacological methods were instrumental in helping his management.
