Welcome to the place where I share dementia tips, strategies, and information for family members caring for a loved one with any type of dementia (such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy Body dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, etc.)

In this week’s video, I’m answering a question that many of you have been asking lately How is dementia diagnosed? I think I’m getting this question a lot because there isn’t really an easy, clear answer. The diagnosis of dementia can be given by various professionals and can be given in a variety of different ways. In this video, I include an easytofollow diagram to help you understand how dementia is diagnosed AND I share the 3 essential pieces of information that must be gathered before ever diagnosing dementia. If you have any questions about dementia, make sure you are leaving a comment under my videos for your chance to get featured on an upcoming Careblazers TV segment!

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. 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. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
