Brief Answer:
If there are symptoms, yes treatment should be started.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

To date, there is no cure for dementia, only symptomatic treatment is used in case that there are any symptoms.

So, if your husband has manifested symptoms of dementia, treatment should be started.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Take care.
