Don't Assume It's Alzheimer's Until You Have An Expert's Diagnosis
Friday, February 01, 2008
It must be Alzheimer's. I can't believe how often I hear people say their parent has Alzheimer's disease. When I sympathize and ask questions about how they got the diagnosis, it's often just assumed that the type of dementia that the patient is showing is Alzheimer's disease.
Thank you for the post. This is a subjest you don't read or hear about too often. I have seen the damages caused by alcohol and it can be hard to handle espcially when they don't know if it is alzheimers disease.
