What type of Alzheimer’s specialist should I see after my diagnosis?

There is no one kind of doctor who specializes exclusively in treating Alzheimer’s. Ask your family doctor or your local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association for names. The types of Alzheimer’s specialists include:-Neurologists: Specialists in nervous system and brain disorders (do not confuse with neurosurgeons, who do not treat Alzheimer’s disease patients).

Geriatric neurologists have special training in dealing with elderly patients. -Psychiatrists: Specialists in mental illness. -Psychologists.

Specialists in mental illness who are not medical doctors and cannot prescribe medications. -Geriatricians: Specialists in treating illnesses in people over 50 years old. -Neuropsychologists: Specialists in understanding the relationship between the brain and emotional and cognitive functions.

Make your decision based on practical considerations, such as which doctors are covered by your insurance carrier and the doctor’s location, as well as your loved one’s type of dementia and needs. Keep in mind that not all neurologists, for example, are automatically Alzheimer’s specialists.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
