dementia care matters Does someone with dementia NEED dementia testing?

Welcome to Careblazers TV!

This is the place where we talk about anything dementia, such as how to manage caregiver stress and how to deal with difficult dementia behaviors. No matter what type of dementia your loved one has (Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy Body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, etc.), this is your spot for information and resources!

In today’s video, I’m talking about dementia testing and whether or not it’s really needed. Some people think that dementia testing isn’t needed because there isn’t much you can do after getting the results. I understand that point of view and believe that at some point (like in the moderately severe and severe stages of the disease) it’s not really worth it. BUT I share some reasons why you may want to consider it if you believe your LO may have dementia.

I’ll be back next week, Careblazer. Until then, keep up the good work!

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. In my job, I help people with dementia, and their caregivers, by visiting them in their own homes and helping them cope through the many struggles of caring for someone with dementia. I have always wanted to help more people than is possible for me in a work day. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. This channel is for anyone caring for a loved one with any type of dementia (Frontotemporal dementia, vascular dementia, Lewy Body dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.) I do this in my spare time. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
