Prognosis
This disorder has a significant impact on a patient's quality of life, including loss of self-esteem, decreased sexual desire, and decreased ability to exercise, socialize, and maintain independence.[1][11] As the condition worsens, dependence on caregivers increases, leading to restriction on social interaction and is a significant factor in the move to nursing home care.[1] Treatment is directed at improving quality of life and should be individualized according to impact severity. No treatment is fully curative, and combination therapy may be beneficial.[11][141]
