How do I translate this small passage about make-up, depression, and Alzheimer?


Can somebody help me with the translation for

>
> 実際にうつ病やアルツハイマーの治療として、女性患者に化粧やヘアチェンジを実践することもあるくらいです。お化粧はテンションをあげてくれるお薬でもあるんですね。

I came up with this

> Did you know (or truthfully), as a treatment for depression or Alzheimer's,
> female patients will practice using make-up or change their hair colour?
> Cosmetics are a medicine that can heighten your tension

I'm really not sure about the second sentence.




It's parsed as

> [実際に(うつ病やアルツハイマーの治療として)、{(女性患者に)(化粧やヘアチェンジを)実践することもある}]くらいです。  
>

The subject for 実践する(carry out in practice) is not written here but it should
be 医者(doctor), 医療機関(medical institution) or 病院(hospital), or maybe 家族(family).  

実際に in practice, in fact,  
うつ病やアルツハイマーの治療として as a treatment for depression or Alzheimer's,  
**病院が hospitals, ← subject**  
女性患者に on female patients,  
化粧やヘアチェンジを make-up or change of hair-style ←object  
実践する carry out in practice ← verb  
こともある There are cases where... ; in some cases  
くらいです。even...  

So it literally means:

> In fact, there are even cases where they(=hospitals/doctors) carry out in
> practice make-up or change of hair-style on their female patients as a
> treatment for depression or Alzheimer's.
