    Dementia is characterized by the deterioration of at least two brain functions such as memory and reasoning. The treatment of dementia depends on its cause and severity, though it is usually irreversible. Treatments include drugs, occupational therapy, mental exercises, and home care to improve symptoms or slow progression, though their effectiveness is limited. Preventing dementia involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol and stress. When interacting with someone with dementia, speak slowly and clearly, use simple language, maintain their attention through repetition if needed.

    Drugs, occupational therapy, the
    practice of certain mental
    exercises and the care given to the
    patient at home make up the
    usual treatment of dementias,
    although their effectiveness is
    limited to improving some
    symptoms or slowing their
    evolution. However, if it is a
    vascular dementia, the prevention
    and / or avoidance of new
    cerebrovascular accidents makes it
    possible to stop it from becoming
    serious.
