Dementia treatment

At times, addressing the underlying condition responsible for dementia may lead to improvement. Conditions likely to respond to treatment include dementia resulting from:

• drugs
• metabolic disorders
• tumors
• hypoglycemia

Generally, dementia is considered irreversible. However, many forms are manageable. Appropriate medications can help in the management of dementia. The choice of dementia treatments will depend on the underlying cause.

For instance, physicians often address dementia caused by Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia with cholinesterase inhibitors, commonly employed in the treatment of Alzheimer's as well.
