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

    Speaking to Dr. Scarfe is the best mental health care I have ever received. I am able to speak to her about family, abuse, my struggles with other practitioners, poverty and personal beliefs. Dr. Scarfe has helped me significantly to overcome my social anxiety which really isn't something I thought was possible through therapy alone, given I've tried for years and seen so many practitioners and therapists. I am thankful every day for Dr. Scarfe and her care is reflected in my wellbeing. She knows me really thoroughly and I feel like she is very intuitive and can help me navigate interpersonal interactions and pick up on nuances that myself and others would not. I like that she is direct because I can have faith in her to tell me like it is, but at the same time she has a very gentle voice and she's incredibly compassionate. I was hospitalized a couple times and left with a bunch of strange and random diagnosis after speaking only briefly to a series of psychiatrists, and Dr. Scarfe has shortened my list of diagnoses by about half and I find that my diagnoses are applicable and make sense. She also encourages me to learn more about mental health and offers books and community resources to help me make sense of my life and keep me well beyond our appointments. Thank you always Dr. Scarfe!

    I have found Dr. Scarfe to be very insightful, patient and empathetic. Can be a little direct at times, but it truly feels like she cares

    I can understand and relate to all of the reviews below. My initial reaction to Dr. Scarfe was that of being judged or misunderstood and it made me very anxious. Part of that, is some of the things she mentioned or said made me feel invalidated. I was worried about bringing it up to her - but found that letting her know what things make you feel certain feelings or are unhelpful - she is so receptive to that and to working with you to find options that work. She is okay if you are angry or upset at what she says and actually encourages you to name those feelings and talk about it. Regarding the street medication comment below - certain medication are under the controlled substance act, and they are required to let us know that they can only give us a certain amount and with that they are very strict. I did not enjoy that conversation but understand where she is coming from. She is able to name things and patterns that sometimes you are not aware of or may seem like she isn't considering context, so I have learned to question and ask - she encourages it. Through the months, that I have worked with her - I hated her at first - and now I can genuinely speak to the fact that (even though it can be frustrating at times), it has helped me use the skills and patterns we discuss to help improve on my mental health conditions - she is open to your input and feelings, and to growth. I would advise that you be patient and if there are things that bother you or make you feel hurt, that you can speak up and that it is safe to do so. It can be challenging to address and open up to new diagnosis or therapy that you do not believe in or a different style of support at first but it is rewarding. If you find, that it is something you may struggle with and wait a few sessions, and talk about it or if you don't want to, feel free to switch. Her working style may or may not mesh with your personal needs and that is ok - everyone is different and mental health is sensitive. I would recommend her.

    I really don't understand some of the statements below. As far as every resource I have come across suggests, therapy is a time for the patient to speak and the doctor to listen, analyze and respond. Dr. Scarfe has in every situation checked in on my emotions. She is perceptive and can tell within the first few minutes of a session if something is wrong. If she is concerned about my wellbeing nearing the end of an appointment, she continually tells me I can call in and make another appointment sooner if I need to. In every case that counts, she has been exceptionally informative in delivering the details of my medications. She has presented many many many local programs to me. She is attentive and perceptive, and although not perfect, I think its important to consider that if you're seeing a psychiatrist, you're likely mentally ill. Maybe thats what has been colouring some of these reviews, I don't know. I have started and stopped therapy 4 separate times in my life and Dr. Scarfe is the only one I found capable of dealing with my problems.

    Dr. Scarfe is a bit unusual. Very shy and quiet at first. I can definitely see how some of the things she says come off as offensive or hurtful. I have a friend who saw her and chose to find a different psychiatrist because of it. Dr. Scarfe is definitely not going off a script or manual. If you can tolerate it though, I found her to be caring and competent.
