HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different types of dementia as you would know but though the exact cause may vary, the symptoms would be the same.
This means that the aggression, hallucinations and memory loss can be related to any cause of dementia.
There are medications that may be able to help control some of these symptoms.
You should consider speaking to her doctor to see if this is an option.
I hope this helps
