Just as each patient is unique, the treatment for Alzheimer’s will be tailored to each person’s unique diagnosis. Unfortunately, there is no one treatment that works for everyone, and Alzheimer’s disease has no cure. Because it is a degenerative chronic condition, most treatment protocols will focus on slowing disease progression, managing symptoms that can alter behavior, maintaining healthy cognitive function, and improving long-term quality of life. Prescription medications may be used to treat Alzheimer’s symptoms, though these are typically only effective for patients with an early diagnosis up until the middle stages of the disease. These medications may help slow progression, but they cannot stop the disease from worsening over time. Medications can help improve memory retention as well as treat occurring symptoms such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, and aggression. Increasing physical activity and focusing on cognitive training may also be useful tools for Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers. It is important for doctors to approach Alzheimer’s treatment with respect and compassion because the primary goal is to improve and maintain quality of life for as long as possible.
