TIME TO ASK FOR HELP?

Your GP can refer you or someone you are concerned about for dementia tests or can diagnose other treatable conditions, such as depression, vitamin B12 deficiency, infections or thyroid and vascular problems, which can cause symptoms similar to dementia. It can feel daunting asking a doctor about dementia but detecting the disease promptly can help slow its progress as well as ensuring timely support for sufferers, their family and friends.
