Hello @rafaeln27 Welcome to Mayo Connect and the Caregivers discussion group. It is good to have you here.

I am sorry to read of your mother's journey with dementia. I am Scott and my mother-in-law (MIL) suffered from dementia for over a decade. You are right when you say there are no treatments that reverse dementia once it has begun in the brain. That said, I do know there is a large amount of scientific study being undertaken to better understand the causes so they can avoid it in the future or better fight it once it begins.

A couple of the medicines my MIL took did seem to slow her decline down early in her journey, but nothing was able to stop the disease. I know of the challenging aspects is that there are so many related, but different, forms of dementia. Plus as with all diseases of the brain, what works for one patient may not work for another. I know in the case of my wife's brain cancer what worked for her was often very different than what worked for others. We always relied on the best judgement of the medical professionals we trusted the most.

I am glad you are chronicling your mother's experiences with the disease as that may well help someone in the future. I noted you are from Brazil! A fabulous country and one of my favorties to visit. What part of Brazil are you from?

I will close this post with asking how is your mom doing now?

Strength, courage, and peace
