I have had a heart attack and since had head scans and have been diagnosed with vascular dementia the doctor says I have involutional changes to the front of my brain. Is there a cure ? treatment? or medication? and what is long tern prognosis? I am told not to drive?
You should know that this is a progressive disorder, leading to cognitive impairment and also behavioral changes. The main cure is blood thinners to help prevent future stroke. I would also recommend starting Donepezil, which can help improve your memory problems. If you become aggressive or depressive starting an anti-psychotic or antidepressant would be helpful! Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing all the best, Dr. Aida
