There are a number of types of dementia, including:
In order to confirm the correct diagnosis for your symptoms, your consultant will begin with an overall assessment of your health. They will ask you some questions about your memory and brain function and whether the way you think has started to change.
You may be asked to take neurological tests such as a memory test, which may be repeated at regular intervals. This is to spot any changes in memory over time.
Additional diagnostic tests, such as blood tests and MRI scans, can also help to rule out any other illnesses such as a stroke or bleeding or tumours. We can also run tests to detect abnormal levels of amyloid protein in the brain if Alzheimer’s disease is suspected. You can find out more below.
While dementia cannot be cured, there are a number of treatment options available. Your consultant will the discuss the best options for you or your loved one, including medication to help manage symptoms and slow down onset of the condition, amyloid-targeting therapies if you have early Alzheimer’s disease, occupational therapy to support daily activities and a range of other therapies. See below for details.
