Abstract

Merely 40 million people suffers from dementia all-over the world which is a characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but there are treatments which help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. The symptoms can vary from person to person, but they typically include Memory loss, Difficulties in learning new things, activities of daily living concentrating, Problems with language, Disorientation, Changes in mood and personality. The treatment for Alzheimer's disease is aimed at managing the symptoms and improving quality of life. There are two main types of medications used to treat Alzheimer's disease. It includes Cholinesterase inhibitors medications, help to improve memory and thinking skills by increasing the levels of acetylcholine in the brain and Memantine, which helps to improve cognitive function by blocking the effects of glutamate in the brain. Also, non-pharmacological therapy such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, support groups which provide emotional support and practical advice to people with Alzheimer's disease improves their prognosis of ailment. Early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease can help to improve quality of life and manage symptoms.
