Abstract
The article presents a study on the identity and control of patients with dementia through individual and specific approaches for emotional and social support. Dementia can have a devastating impact on the diagnosed individual with neurodegenerative syndrome, his family, and friends. It recommends that caregivers for people with dementia must see the whole person rather than his illness.
