Treatment

Treatment focuses on the cause of the disorder and controlling symptoms. Treatment of the cause may include medicines, dietary supplements, or other measures (see the specific cause). Progression of symptoms may require 24-hour monitoring and care in the home or in an institutionalized care setting.

Long-term care may includes environmental safety and control of aggression or agitated behavior through behavior modification or medications.
