Treatments
There is currently no cure for dementia. While treatment options cannot reverse the damage to the brain, they would alleviate several symptoms and improve the quality of life. Exact methods can vary, depending on the form of dementia. People with Alzheimer’s disease can benefit from sleep aids, cognitive training, medications for depression, behavioral changes, and memory loss. Some lifestyle changes play a key role in slowing or preventing the progression of the condition. These include frequent workouts and the Mediterranean diet. Overall, it can be very hard to treat people with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. That is why family members and friends should always try to provide support and care when necessary. [10.1] [10.2]
