There is a lot of research focusing on dementia but so far we do not have a cure. There are some medications I call cognitive enhancers, which do help some people. During your consultation at Age Right we can discuss these medications and determine if they are suitable for you. The aim of the medication is to decrease the decline caused by dementia. Some people have an initial good response and improve on the medications in the initial stages. The medications are designed to increase your independence, help with anxiety and depressed mood and help with cognitive functions. There is also a non-medication option available. Souvenaid is a drink full of amino acids and vitamins targeting the neurotransmitters in the brain. Alternatively, enquire about the trials open to registration in Melbourne and whether there is a trial for you.
There are some other treatment options available for mild cognitive impairment which include souvenaid, research trials in Melbourne, cognitive and physical activities.
