Unfortunately, the modifying treatment for dementia is still in an experimental phase. However, there are various methods of interventions that can assist you in protecting your brain function.
For example, the timely diagnosis of one’s cognitive difficulties and strengths, as well as, the cause of dementia is very important, in order to receive the most appropriate treatment along with non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as cognitive enhancement, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, music therapy and others. Noesis Center’s cognitive enhancement program aims to strengthen the person’s abilities in an individualized manner.
Some reversible/treatable causes of memory problems are:
- Lack of vitamin B12 and folic acid.
- Depression
- Hypothyroidism
These other causes of memory loss should be ruled out before the syndrome can be investigated.
