There is no proven medication or supplement that slows the progression of dementia. The meds out there only help to treat symptoms.

For dementia, the answer is no. For mental health, the answer is yes. For example, my dad takes Zoloft now. He calls it his “attitude medicine” and it’s definitely been a help
