Some causes of dementia may be reversible but at present, there is no cure for the common causes such as Alzheimer's Disease and Vascular Dementia.
Medications can help stabilize the levels of chemicals in the brain, which may improve some of the symptoms of dementia. Psychotherapy can help with feelings of loss, depression or anxiety. Education and support of caregivers is also a crucial aspect of holistic dementia care.
Appropriate care facilities, behavioural therapies, counselling, and education are available to improve care for patients and their families.
For available programmes, speak to your attending doctor.
