What are the most important things to ask/understand from your doctor after receiving a diagnosis for alzheimer's?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
What to anticipate: Since it is progressive, new deterioration will reveal new problems, and it is best to make future plans to manage/care for the issues. Do discuss potential medications, what help can be expected from alzheimer's assn, and what community resources are available. Have all direct family members talk to your doctor, so there are no inconsistencies.

Medication, support: There are medications that delay progression of the disease and should be started as soon as possible. It is also important to ask about Alzheimer's association that may organize support groups for caregivers of Alzheimer's patients.
