Purpose Of Review:
The purpose of this review was to discuss therapeutic options available for the treatment of memory difficulties in dementia.
Recent Findings:
Because of the lack of progress in the availability of new medications, there has been an increased interest in focusing on non-pharmacological means to management cognitive symptoms related to dementia. The clinical management of memory loss should focus both on pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Treatment with medications should usually begin with a cholinesterase inhibitor and then followed by addition of memantine if there is a decline. In addition to medication management, emphasis should be placed on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle that encompasses physical activities, cognitive stimulation, and a healthy diet.
