Dementia can affect the body and its systems in many ways and can impact its natural functioning. Dementia can lead to pneumonia, personal safety challenges, and in extreme cases, death.

Diagnosing dementia can be a challenging process. To diagnose the cause, Dr. Priyanka Sangani MBBS, DNB GENERAL MEDICINE, DNB NEUROLOGY, an expert neurologist in Attapur, Hyderabad, has to first recognize the pattern of the loss of skills and determine what the patient is still able to do.

Having treated many patients with dementia, Priyanka Sangani is able to provide a quick diagnosis after conducting a thorough medical evaluation through tests like blood tests and brain scans.

As there is no single test that can accurately predict the onset of dementia, Dr. Priyanka Sangani may also conduct neurological tests to evaluate memory, language, visual perception, and problem-solving abilities to diagnose the extent of the condition.

Dementias are serious neurological disorders that may not be cured. However, there are several ways to manage the symptoms.

Depending on the severity of the condition, Dr. Priyanka Sangani will prescribe appropriate medications that will provide relief from symptoms. For milder cases, non-drug approaches such as occupational therapy and environment modification may be recommended.

Receiving a diagnosis for dementia can be devastating, as it has a complex and challenging treatment process.
