How Can Dementia Be Treated?
My mom has dementia and I m reading about the benefits and risks of the medications that she is taking. The side effects are disturbing and with all the meds that she is taking they seem to cross over negatively. How can I be sure that she needs all of the 10 prescribed medications.

Dementia is a group of conditions characterized by impairment of at least two brain functions, such as memory loss and judgement. Medication and therapies may help manage symptoms. Some causes are reversible. Work with your neurologist for better treatment.
