Background: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) influence dementia care significantly. BPSD can be affected by factors related to the patient’s illness and socio-cultural background. Aim: This study aimed to find a relationship between BPSD with patients’ socio-demographic and clinical profiles and their caregivers’ distress in a tertiary care center. Materials and Methods: In this hospital-based cross-sectional study, the purposive sampling technique was used to select 100 dementia patients. A comprehensive record of socio-demographic and clinical details was made on a self-prepared semi-structured data sheet. The Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire was the principal tool to find the BPSD and related caregivers’ distress. Results: The sample comprised predominantly Hindu (91%) male patients (66%) with Alzheimer’s dementia (76%) coming from rural backgrounds (74%) and joint familial systems (96%), with a mean age of 71.77 ± 7.41 years. Patients’ main caregivers were their children/children-in-law (65%). The severity of an overall BPSD and its variable individual domains were directly related to the duration of dementia, patients’ age, their cognitive decline, and related decline in activities of living, as well as their caregivers’ distress. In comparison to Alzheimer’s disease patients, those with other dementia types had more impairment in cognitive functions and activities of daily living and they had a higher number and severity of BPSD. Conclusion: The advancing age, increased duration of dementia, and decline in cognition and related activities of daily living of the patients, as well as their caregivers’ distress, are important correlates of BPSD. The findings are essential for the better management of dementia patients.
