Apathy is effecting as much as 70% people who have Alzheimer disease. Apathy is also happening in patients with dementia. This condition is often confused with depression, so medical help is needed to understand which one you have.
A new medicine emerged into the market, and this medicine is used to treat people living with Alzheimer disease and dementia. This medication is called Provigil, and it has also a generic name Modafinil. This medicine is very well tolerated, when taken in conjunction with other medicines, which is very important for elderly patients, as they are prescribed a lot of medicines.
Provigil also works very well in people not responding too good to the antidepressants treatment.
