Dementia wellbeing and support services<\/h1>\n

Dementia is a term which is used to describe a number of different symptoms or conditions that may include memory loss and difficulties with thinking, problem-solving or language.<\/p>\n

It is caused when the brain is damaged by disease, most commonly Alzheimer’s disease, or a series of strokes.<\/p>\n

Visit the NHS website to find out more about what dementia is, diagnosis and treatment.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are worried that you, or someone close to you, has dementia, then the more quickly you seek help, the better.<\/p>\n

Your GP can rule out other conditions with similar symptoms and give you further advice, information and support on dementia. They may offer medication if appropriate.<\/p>\n

If your GP is unable to make a diagnosis, they may refer you to a memory clinic or arrange further tests.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/section><\/div>
