Hello,welcome to Healthcare Magic.Scan findings are suggestive of age related changes. Your father appear to suffering from Dementia. In dementia there is progressive decline of memory and cognitive function. Many patients also develop sleep difficulty and psychotic symptoms like aggression, delusion and hallucinations.There is no cure for dementia. Treatment is more focused on cause of the dementia and current presenting symptoms. For that clinical evaluation is must for the patient. Medicines like Donepezil, Qutiapine , Folvite and Syndopacan be used in dementia patient, depending on cause and clinical features. Wish you all the best.Regards,Dr Ashish Kumar Mittalwww.99doctor.com
