Hi
thank you for trusting HCM
I read carefully your symptoms and understand your concern
Unfortunately there is no definitive treatment
In my opinion you should try a combination of donepezil (or memantine) and symptomatic treatment (such as atipic neuroleptic)
Hope my answer will be helpful
Please feel free to ask for further information or doubts
Best wishes
