Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
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
