Brief Answer:
Some dementias are curable, not all.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your wife's problems and diagnosis.
Dementia is caused due to multiple reasons. Some forms of dementia are curable. These include:
1. Vitamin deficiency such as B12, thiamine.
2. Endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism
3. Infections of brain,
4. Blood clots in brain, etc.
However, some causes such as Alzheimer's disease can not be cured. There are medications to slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. These medicines include rivastigmine, donepezil and memantine.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
