FAQ - Alzheimer's treatment
The primary goals of Alzheimer's treatment are to manage symptoms, slow down the progression of the disease, enhance quality of life for the individual, and provide support for caregivers. While there is no cure for Alzheimer's, various medications and non-pharmacological interventions can help alleviate symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Medications approved for Alzheimer's treatment include cholinesterase inhibitors (such as donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine) and memantine. These medications can help improve cognitive function, manage behavioral symptoms, and enhance overall well-being in some individuals with Alzheimer's.
Non-pharmacological therapies play a vital role in Alzheimer's treatment by addressing various aspects of the disease, including cognitive decline, behavioral symptoms, and emotional well-being. Examples of non-pharmacological interventions include cognitive stimulation therapy, reminiscence therapy, music therapy, art therapy, and physical exercise programs.
Adopting a healthy lifestyle can complement Alzheimer's treatment and potentially slow down the progression of the disease. This includes maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, staying socially active, participating in mentally stimulating activities, managing stress effectively, getting adequate sleep, and avoiding harmful substances such as tobacco and excessive alcohol.
Support services are essential for both individuals with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. These services may include access to support groups, educational resources, respite care, home care assistance, adult day programs, and long-term care facilities. Support services can help individuals cope with the challenges of Alzheimer's, enhance quality of life, and provide much-needed assistance and relief for caregivers.
