Is There A Treatment For Dementia?
Hello Dr.

dementia is a degenerative disorder where brain tissue gets into irreversible damage, making it very difficult to improve. however a detail investigation has to be made to lok into cause of dementia to find out a reversible cause of dementia like hypothyroidism, vitamin deficiency etc, in such cases dementia can improve. In other cases dementia is unlikely to improve, though disease progression can be halted with proper treatment with medication and lifestyle modifications.
