Is There A Cure For Dementia? by seventeen17: 8:35am On Oct 20, 2022
There is currently no "cure" for dementia. In fact, because dementia is caused by different diseases it is unlikely that there will be a single cure for dementia. According to NHS, research is aimed at finding cures for dementia-causing diseases.

Causes Of Dementia
Dementia is a broad term that describes a decline in mental ability that is severe enough to interfere with daily life. There are different diseases that can cause dementia, many of which are associated with an abnormal build-up of proteins in the brain.

The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. Other causes include:

- vascular dementia

- Mixed dementia

- dementia with Lewy bodies

- frontotemporal dementia

Treatment
While there is no cure for dementia, symptoms and related conditions can be treated using medicinal and non-medicinal methods. Most (not all) of the prescribed medicines available are used to treat Alzheimer's disease as it is the most common form of dementia.

Non-medicinal treatments include cognitive stimulation therapy and cognitive rehabilitation

Treatment of dementia and related conditions can be quite expensive. This is where health insurance comes in. Health insurance helps with the payment of all or part of the medical expenses. That way you don’t have to bear the burden alone.
