The process of diagnosing Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia can be complicated, since there is no single test available. However, having a diagnosis as early as possible is preferable, as it gives individuals time to explore their assisted living options. When you watch the accompanying video, you will hear about the steps in the diagnostic process.
First, the doctor will start by conducting a thorough review of the individual’s medical history. The doctor will talk to the individual and his or her family members about the symptoms they have noticed. Medical tests can help rule out other possible causes. The doctor can also guide the individual through cognitive tests.
