Although tremendous strides with regard to identification and treatment of BPSD have been made over the last several decades, much work remains. Presently, BPSD research opportunities are at their greatest. The increasing worldwide social and economic impact of BPSD, however, requires that researchers, clinicians, and scientists develop a global network focused on collaboration and innovation. In particular, research must address cross-culturally applicable methods for assessment, exploration of the environmental relationships of BPSD and the underlying biologic and psychologic substrates, longitudinal evaluation, determination of the frequency and underlying pathogenic mechanisms, and development of a clearly defined treatment method profile with specific reference to different types of BPSD [134].
尽管在过去几十年里，在识别和治疗行为和心理症状的精神障碍（BPSD）方面已经取得了巨大进展，但仍有许多工作要做。目前，BPSD的研究机会处于最佳状态。然而，BPSD在全球范围内日益增加的社会和经济影响，要求研究人员、临床医生和科学家建立一个专注于合作与创新的全球网络。特别是，研究必须解决跨文化适用的评估方法、探索BPSD的环境关系以及潜在的生物学和心理学基础、纵向评估、确定频率和潜在致病机制，以及制定针对不同类型BPSD的明确定义的治疗方法概况[134]。
