What is the Treatment for Frontotemporal Dementia?
Because there is no cure for Frontotemporal Dementia, medical professionals can only treat the symptoms as they occur. As the disease progresses, the affected person will most likely require round-the-clock care, as most non-medical professionals are unable to handle what is going on with the person, and the person may need to be medicated heavily, with antidepressants or antipsychotic drugs. In some cases, therapy will work, but usually only speech therapy is effective, and in some cases, even this type of therapy doesn’t work well. Overall, all that can be done in the treatment of Frontotemporal Dementia is to take things one day at a time, and to deal with the symptoms as they appear.
