Symptoms and current
Mental manifestations in the vascular pathology of the brain are diverse in both the nature and depth of disorders: from neurotic symptoms and sharpening character traits to psychotic episodes and pronounced dementia (called vascular dementia).

Treatment of vascular dementia
First of all, it is necessary to test the vascular disease. Along with this, drugs regulating metabolic processes (nootropyl, encephybol, pyriditol, gammalon) are widely used and contributing to the improvement of memory, as well as drugs that increase the blood supply level of the brain (Cavinton, Starbonon, complemin, Trental). Selection of drugs is carried out only by a doctor, taking into account the nature of the vascular process. Psychotropic therapy is prescribed by a psychiatrist depending on the mental state of the patient with dementia.
Unattended awareness of the disease and the ability to critically evaluate their condition helps such patients to adapt to life and to determine the symptoms of the disease, in particular, memory disorders. «Core» Personality remains preserved, t.E. Skills and style of behavior, personal installations, the nature of relationships and reactions are preserved.
