Dementia is a progressive neurocognitive disorder marked by cognitive decline that interferes with independence. Common causes include Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and Lewy body dementia. Management combines pharmacological therapy (cholinesterase inhibitors, memantine) with non-pharmacological approaches such as behavioral and reminiscence therapies. Complementary methods like art, music, and aromatherapy further support well-being. Homeopathy provides individualized care addressing memory loss, confusion, anxiety, and mood disturbances with remedies such as Agnus castus, Alumina, Anacardium and Baryta carbonica. This holistic approach aims to enhance quality of life, reduce caregiver stress, and complement conventional dementia management.
