There’s no one test for dementia. Instead, to diagnose your condition, we’ll perform a few exams to rule out other conditions. We’ll be thorough, performing a combination of physical and mental tests to get a full picture of what’s causing your memory loss. These tests may include:
Blood and Other Lab Tests
Brain Scans, including CT Scan and MRI
EEGs (Electroencephalogram), to Measure Brain Wave Activity
Genetic Testing
Physical and Neurological Exams
Psychiatric Evaluations
Verbal and Written Tests to Assess Memory, Cognitive, and Thinking Abilities
These aren’t like other medical tests, and there’s no right or wrong answer. Your results will simply help us understand your wellness needs so we can create the best care plan for you.
