Diagnosis of Dementia

Diagnosing dementia is often difficult, particularly in the early stages. The GP is the first person to consult. The GP may then refer the person being diagnosed to a specialist such as a consultant.

Assessments can include conversations with the person being diagnosed and those close to them, a physical examination, memory tests and/or brain scans.

The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) is the most commonly used test for complaints of memory problems or when a diagnosis of dementia is being considered.

  • Mini Mental State Examination
  • Blood tests for dementia
  • Dementia brain scans
  • Cognitive testing
  • Neuropsychological testing
  • Radiological tests
  • Brain imaging techniques
