Abstract
The purpose of this review was to discuss therapeutic options available for the treatment of memory difficulties in dementia. Because of the lack of progress in the availability of new medications, there has been an increased interest in focusing on non-pharmacological means to management cognitive symptoms related to dementia. The clinical management of memory loss should focus both on pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Treatment with medications should usually begin with a cholinesterase inhibitor and then followed by addition of memantine if there is a decline. In addition to medication management, emphasis should be placed on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle that encompasses physical activities, cognitive stimulation, and a healthy diet.
