- Showing inattention to work is a symptom of dementia.
- Confusion about time, place, or familiar surroundings occurs.

There is no specific treatment for dementia. However, the goal of treatment is to keep the disease as favorable as possible by following the symptoms of the disease. For example: -
- Cholinesterase inhibitors increase the level of acetylcholine, a chemical involved in memory and learning, by following the method.
- Sleeping pills - to deal with insomnia or sleep disorders.
- Psychotherapy treatment provides psychological support and coping strategies for the caregivers.
- Occupational therapy helps maintain the independence of the person by teaching daily work techniques.
