The drugs most prescribed to treat AD are agents that restore ACh. The cholinergic pathways, enzymes, and enzyme inhibition are most related to drug action. The other systems are not relevant to AD.

Occupational therapists prescribe activities that can help the patient increase concentration and focus. The other activities are not designed to increase concentration and attention span.
