Diagnosing dementia
The best place to begin the diagnostic process of treating dementia is by talking with a GP or a a Cognitive Dementia and Memory Service (CDAMS) clinic about getting a diagnosis at the crucial early stage of the disease.
A correct diagnosis of dementia at an early stage is imperative for early treatment, support and correct planning for the future.
A complete medical assessment may identify a treatable condition and ensure it is treated correctly, or it may confirm the presence of dementia and whether it is Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia.
