At this time, Alzheimer's has no cure. But please don't confuse cure with treatment or therapies. Treatments and therapies do exist in many forms from managing symptoms with medications, to treating caregivers by offering education on topics such as making difficult decisions or communication, to support groups (supportive blogs), counseling, art therapy, stress reduction, and mentor programs. For some caregivers and persons with dementia, finding solace in nature or sipping tea with a trusted friend is therapeutic.
