Is there anything else to help people with Alzheimer’s disease?
Other drugs are sometimes prescribed for the symptoms of dementia, such as depression, restlessness, delusions and hallucinations. These include tranquillisers, antidepressants and anxiety-relieving drugs. In addition to the drug therapies that are commonly dispensed to help sufferers of AD, there are also a number of approaches that help people maintain contact with the outside world. Occupational Therapists have a repertoire of techniques, including music and art therapy, which help dissolve the feelings of frustration that are often experienced by people in the advanced stages of the disease.
