Therapies for Dementia Patients
There are a wide range of therapies that can be used to help a person living with dementia. These can include therapy, medications, and behavioural strategies.
Talking therapies – such as counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) – are useful in reducing anxiety, boosting self-esteem and improving wellbeing. These therapies are particularly effective for people with a diagnosis of dementia.
The main aim of therapy is to build a relationship between the therapist and the person with dementia. This can be done in person or by telephone and will depend on the individual’s needs.
Benzodiazepines and antipsychotics can be useful in treating agitation in some patients with dementia. These drugs are usually administered on an as-needed basis in conjunction with coping strategies, as they can have serious side effects and should not be used for long periods of time as they increase the risk of falls, delirium, disinhibition, agitation, and other behavioral problems.
Cholinesterase inhibitors, including tacrine and donepezil (Aricept), can help slow the rate of memory decline in dementia patients. They work by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, which is an essential chemical for brain cells to communicate with each other.
Music and singing – a natural mood booster – can also be beneficial for people with dementia, bringing a sense of joy that is often missing. Dementia Devices UK Studies show that these activities may reduce depression and improve social interactions between people with dementia and their caregivers.
