Living with Dementia

Have you or someone you love recently noticed a decline in areas or performance such as good judgment, emotional, and behavioral functioning? Have your skills and abilities to learn begun to fade? Are you lacking the social skills or problems solving skills that you have always had? Are you unsure why you are feeling this way?

If you or someone you love answered yes to any of these questions, you may benefit from our services at ThoughtWise. At ThoughtWise, we specialize in the early identification and diagnosis of mild neurocognitive impairments or dementia.

At ThoughtWise in Tallahassee we are here for you, and we realize that if you are suffering from dementia it may be one of the most difficult things that you have experienced, and especially if these difficulties have come as a part of another condition, such as Parkinson’s disease or depression.

Dementia is a condition that may be a part of or may seem related to other areas of your health and functioning. You may notice loss of initiative or motivation, or slight or severe shortfalls in normal functioning. If you have begun noticing slight changes in your cognitive functioning, it is important to take action.

Early intervention may be an important approach to dealing with the effects of dementia. Early intervention includes assessing areas that you are currently having difficulty with, interventions are a key to best outcome.

At ThoughtWise, you will work with our trained experts that specialize in the areas of evaluation, assessment, and psychological or neuropsychological testing. These tests are important for you, as tests allow us to identity if you are actually suffering from dementia or other dementia-like conditions.
