Diet pills can harm your kidneys. While you probably know that the safest and most effective way to lose weight permanently is to eat less and exercise more, Americans have an obsession with rapid results. As a consequence, diet pills are a big business for manufacturers. Some, however, are very unsafe, and have been linked to kidney problems and damage.
Medication and supplements that can completely cure reversible dementias include: 1  Vitamin B12 supplements for pernicious anemia. 2  Hormonal supplements for hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or other imbalances.  SSRIs or other antidepressants for depression symptoms which may mimic dementia.
The long-term outlook for hyperthyroidism depends on its cause. Some causes can go away without treatment. Others, like Graves' disease, get worse over time without treatment. The complications of Graves' disease can be life-threatening and affect your long-term quality of life. Early diagnosis and treatment of symptoms improve the long-term outlook.
