Specializes in Geriatric Psychiatry

Seek evaluation: If you suspect that your brain is having major problems, seek an evaluation from a neurologist, psychiatrist or other health professional with experience in this area. There are conditions that can mimic dementia and early intervention may offer the best benefits.

See your doctor: See your doctor and talk with him/her about your concerns. Your doctor can do a dementia work up to rule out treatable causes, and either diagnose or refer you to a neurologist and/or neuropsychologist if needed.
