Dear
I am sorry for the symptoms your dad is suffering
Unfortunately those symptoms are related to vascular dementia and there is no curable treatment
The treatment is used to avoid symptoms and to slow down the process
In my opinion he should start atipic neuroleptic
DISCUSS WITH YOUR NEUROLOGIST ABOUT MY OPINION
Best regards
