For Alzheimer’s disease (AD)

Alzheimer's disease (AD) as a complexneurodegenerative disease, is the most common type of dementia^①. Due to its complex and inconclusive pathogenesis ,  lack of proper understanding of the diseaseis the underlying cause of the absence of drugs that can reverse the course ofthe disease ^②. The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in China among aged 65 years andolder is 4.2% in the northern region and 2.8% in the southern region^③. Among them, the prevalence increases year by year with age. Alzheimer'sdisease is typically characterized clinically by a progressive decline incognitive function and executive performance, and a range of neuropsychiatricsymptoms (NPS) that accompany the entire course of the disease. Among all theNPSs, the most common symptoms are indifference and depression; however,agitated behavior is one of the most harmful behaviors that afflict patientsand their families^①.
