Why?

I've read numerous articles explaining what to do when a person with Alzheimer's is acting differently-

Take them out of the situation

Reassure them

Hug them

Keep their environment a calm place

I get all this! What I want to know is WHY they are doing what they are doing? What is happening in the brain to make a person re-act in the way are acting? Why does the disease effect everyone differently? Can we stop this behaviour all together? Is there behavioural therapy we can use to change the way the person is acting, so they are no longer acting out of character? There must be more to battling this illness than popping pills and accepting the changes just because it's the Alzheimer's?

There are possibly answers out there but I've not came across them yet, please feel free to let me know if I am missing anything!
