Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease

 Dementia is a collective term used to describe neurodegenerative disorders of the brain that affect cognition. It is estimated that over 55 million people around the world have dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia (60-80% of cases) and affects 6.7 million Americans. It commonly occurs in older adults and the prevalence of dementia increases with age, but it can also occur in younger adults. At Reliable Psychiatry, we perform thorough assessments, including physical exams, neurological, psychiatric assessments, and mood assessments to reach a diagnosis with a formulated treatment plan.
