Know more about dementia

Whenever people hear about someone’s memory loss, they tend to think that, this is Alzheimer’s only. Memory loss usually happens in Alzheimer’s but this is certainly not correct! There is a huge difference between dementia, Alzheimer’s and amnesia. Because of the symptoms being almost same, this confusion is seen. Instead of self-diagnosing your symptoms, it is always better to visit the doctor to know more about this. If it is something to do with brain, it is better to visit a psychiatrist without wasting the time. He will help you understand the root cause of the problem and will give better diagnosis.

If there is something big which needs to be taken care of, his early diagnosis will help in starting off with the treatment as well. When it comes to dementia, after the consultation, people tend to ask the psychiatrist if there are any chances of curing dementia. And doctor gets stuck there because he doesn’t know about how accurate his word could be but still if dementia is controlled at a very early stage, curing dementia is not a big issue then. It’s better to prevent it. 

When it comes to dementia, the best medicine is the love and care. nothing is stronger than this! It will help the person feel good and recovery would be very quick! This dementia is mostly commonly seen in old age people. Don’t ignore them, they took care of your when you couldn’t even walk, they need you now, love them more! Take care of them and plan proper visit with the psychiatrists from time to time. By- Dt. Trishala Chopra
