Understanding Agitation: Personal Stories

Agitation is a state of unease accompanied by excessive talking and/or unintentional and purposeless motions, like wringing the hands or pacing. It manifests in a broad spectrum and people with mood disorders may be more disposed to experiencing agitation. Through personal stories, this video illustrates the way agitation impacts life, provides tips and information on supporting and treating an individual experiencing agitation, and identifies wellness strategies that have helped peers live successfully. Production of the DBSA Understanding Agitation video series was supported by a contribution from Teva.
