We all forget things as we age, but that doesn’t mean we have dementia. Dementia isn’t just one condition - it’s a term that refers to symptoms that cause a decline in mental ability that interferes with daily life. Alzheimer's is the most common type of dementia and accounts for 60 to 80 percent of cases. Vascular dementia is the second most common dementia type and occurs after a stroke. Memory loss that worsens over time can be another type of dementia.  Pour plus d'informations et les services locaux des psychiatres locaux à Montréal et à Québec PQ, contactez votre psychiatre local

Cognitive behavioural therapy is an effective treatment option for anxiety and phobias.

Explanation:

Cognitive behavioural therapy is a treatment option for anxiety and phobias and is up to 80% effective. It involves changing your thinking patterns to better cope with situations.

The only way to treat anxiety effectively is with medications.

There are mental health benefits to exercise.

    Dr sims listened to me talk for 5 minutes then stoped me told me I have a bad attitude and need to go to the drug dependance center .I don’t use drugs. That was my only meeting other than the anxiety group I tried going for a year or more until Darrel Jackson told me to get over my mental illness and move on with my life . Let’s just say I will never go thru mental health again. About 7 years later I am finally on proper medication and am functional in my daily life.

    The clinic assigned me this doctor and I'm glad they did. She was a good listener, and gave me help with my medications which were complicated.

    I left the office in worse condition then when I arrived. This doctor is dangerous and should not be practicing. I hope the physician boards review the complaints about her.
