Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My father is suffering from a brain problem. I do not know the type of problem. He forgotten everything, including our family members. He had been treated for depression for the last three years. Please tell me, what to do?
Kindly suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. I have seen all the attachments you sent (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your father's symptoms are basically due to dementia. His brain is not functioning well. The multiple areas of his brain have not received enough blood and so there is dysfunction of them. I would like to see his magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain pictures to suggest you whether we can treat him any further surgically. If his MRI brain shows accelerated water collection in ventricular system and other features, then we may be able to help him by fluid diversion procedure. If the water collection is not there, then we can go ahead and help him with the medicines. I would also like to know whether he has walking difficulties and loss of control over urination. Please let me know the requested information, so that we can discuss further.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
