Dementia and Memory Problems
At Sobti Nursing Home, we understand the profound impact dementia and memory-related issues can have on individuals and their families. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Neha Dua Sobti, a compassionate and highly experienced psychiatrist, we provide specialized care for patients dealing with dementia and memory disorders. Our goal is to offer early diagnosis, effective treatment plans, and ongoing support for patients and their loved ones, ensuring a better quality of life.
What is Dementia?
Dementia is not a single disease but a collection of symptoms that affect memory, thinking, behavior, and the ability to perform everyday activities. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause, but dementia can also result from other conditions such as vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Memory loss, confusion, mood changes, and difficulty with language and problem-solving are common symptoms of dementia, which worsen over time.
Early Diagnosis and Comprehensive Treatment
Early detection of dementia can greatly improve the management of the condition and help slow its progression. Dr. Neha Dua Sobti works closely with patients and their families to diagnose dementia at the earliest stages. At Sobti Nursing Home, we offer comprehensive evaluations that include:
- Cognitive Assessments: We conduct thorough cognitive testing to assess memory, problem-solving, and language skills.
- Neurological Exams: Our team looks for any signs of brain dysfunction or abnormalities that may contribute to memory problems.
- Imaging and Lab Tests: We may use brain scans (MRI or CT) and blood tests to rule out other causes of cognitive decline, such as vitamin deficiencies or infections.
Once a diagnosis is made, Dr. Neha Dua Sobti develops a personalized treatment plan based on the type and stage of dementia. Our care involves medication management, therapy, and ongoing monitoring to address symptoms and improve quality of life.
Memory Problems: Understanding and Managing Cognitive Decline
Memory problems can arise from several causes, including aging, stress, sleep disorders, and medication side effects. While some forgetfulness is a normal part of aging, more severe memory problems may signal underlying conditions like dementia. We encourage patients and their families to seek professional help at the first sign of memory decline, as early intervention can make a significant difference.
Holistic Support for Patients and Families
At Sobti Nursing Home, we believe in holistic care that addresses not only the medical aspects of dementia but also the emotional and psychological needs of patients and their families. Our team provides counseling and support for caregivers, helping them navigate the challenges of looking after a loved one with dementia.
- Medication Management: We prescribe medications that can help manage symptoms and slow the progression of dementia.
- Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy: We offer therapies to help patients maintain cognitive functions, reduce confusion, and manage behavior changes.
