Dementia Treatment in New Delhi

Expert diagnosis and personalized treatment by a DrNB Neurology specialist.

Overview

Dementia is an umbrella term for progressive decline in memory, thinking and daily functioning severe enough to interfere with independent living. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause, followed by vascular dementia and several other types.

Early diagnosis is invaluable. It allows reversible contributors (such as thyroid problems, vitamin B12 deficiency or depression) to be treated, future planning to begin, and disease-modifying or symptom-control strategies to start at the most effective time.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Occasional forgetfulness is normal. Dementia involves persistent decline affecting daily activities — a careful neurological assessment is needed to distinguish them.

Most dementias cannot be cured, but progression can be slowed and symptoms managed. Reversible causes are always actively searched for.

Through detailed cognitive testing, blood tests and brain imaging to identify the type and exclude treatable causes.

Treating vascular risk factors, mental and physical activity, social engagement and selected medications all play a role.
