It is good to read that North Tyne, Gateshead and Cumbria mention symptoms of dementia and psychosis.
There are huge differences between the symptom of dementia and a diagnosis of dementia. Likewise with the symptom of psychosis and the diagnosis of psychosis.
When patients are given a diagnosis of dementia, they may receive prescribed medication of Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, antipsychotics and/or antidepressants. Plus, have a therapy called Cognitive Stimulation theory to try and aid their memory, problem solving abilities and language abilities.
It is rather different to testing for P.A./B12 deficiency where the treatment is loading doses and maintenance doses with intramuscular injections of hydroxycobalamin or methylcobalamin.
