Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My father is suffering from Alzheimer's, so he forgets his name and place of residence and speaks irrelevant. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Alzheimer's disease is difficult to manage and requires a multidisciplinary approach and rehabilitation. Consult a neurologist for medication to slow down the disease's progress and treat the psychosocial issues. For comprehensive care, visit a neurological center or provide a home care attendant for your father.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
