Q:
How will my doctor address my symptoms of dementia?
A:
Once your doctor identifies signs of dementia with you, there will likely be some tests done to see if anything reversible might be causing your symptoms. Things like thyroid problems or low levels of Vitamin B12 can cause issues with memory or brain function. Outside of these tests, treatment of dementia and its symptoms will have to depend on your individual condition.
