Essential Tidbits Physicians Want Patients to Know About Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's treatment is meant to address symptoms, not cure the disease
As was mentioned, the cause of Alzheimer’s is still unknown, so addressing it is all but impossible. For this reason, most Alzheimer’s treatments revolve around reducing the intensity of its symptoms, so that the person may live a relatively better life. In this sense, most treatments consist of drugs to alter the brain’s chemistry to improve its performance at certain tasks, which may offset symptoms such as insomnia, disorientation, and forgetfulness.
