Research Notes on Dementia Treatment
Some people with dementia do not need medication for the behavioral problems. However for some people, doctors may prescribe medications to reduce agitation, anxiety, depression, or sleeping problems. These behaviors are troublesome and common in people with dementia.1
Fast Facts:
- Treatment for dementia depends on the specific condition that is causing the dementia.2
- Some cases of dementia can be caused by medical conditions that can be treated, fully or partly restoring mental function.3
- A person with dementia may need supervision and assistance at home or in an institution. Possible options include in-home care, boarding homes, adult day care, and convalescent homes.2
