Caregiver Study: We are conducting a study of a new treatment for caregivers of people with dementia. We believe that helping the caregiver will help the entire family as well as the patient. Study participants will receive doctor visits, comprehensive assessments, and study medication free of charge. The study is designed to help caregivers who may be feeling stressed, nervous or depressed; but participants do not have to be clinically depressed in order to be included. Webpage Brochure
