Why is diagnosis of dementia important?
As with any other illness, knowing why a loved relative is behaving in a strange manner can make the burden less stressful. The carers can be taught what to expect in the years ahead and plan for the future. It is also important to note that in a few elderly people the dementia is caused by a treatable disease such as low thyroid function. Another important reason for accurate diagnosis is to make sure that the person is not suffering from depression, the other mental health problem
seen in old age, which can be treated quite effectively.
