How is it treated

If you think you or someone you know may have dementia, consult a mental health professional.

Treatment comes in the following forms:

• Medication: There are some new medications that have shown to have a temporary effect in improving mental functioning. As persons with dementia often have anxiety or depression, medication can also be helpful for these symptoms.

• Cognitive training: Training using memory aids, such as recording devices and note-taking are encouraged to help you cope with the condition rather than as a treatment. ​
