When treating PWS, the most common problems are behavioral . People with PWS strive for sameness. When something is changed, they would rather do what they would have normally done at that time. People with PWS are very stubborn on their opinion. When this becomes a problem, others must understand and strive not to argue with the person with PWS. Another symptom is chronic hunger. Parents, teachers, or any person in contact with this PWS sufferer must be aware to ensure that the person does not overeat. There is a great amount of research being done to help people with PWS. With new treatments, people with PWS may be better equipped to live more normal lives.
Today, there is no cure for PWS, but doctors can use various hormonal treatments to help a person with PWS. Even though there have been new findings in genetics, it may be a while before the genes controlling PWS can be identified. At this time there is no medicine that is capable of suppressing the chronic hunger. However, the medicine to treat behavioral and mental problems has proven to be successful. When prescribing medicine, the doctor must closely monitor the dosage. Most symptoms of this disease can be controlled by adjusting diet plans, giving medical assistance, and providing sufficient exercise.
