Talk to your doctor

Family doctors play an integral role in early diagnosis and brain health. We found during our diagnosis survey that:

• 83 per cent of respondents visited their family doctor first.
• Half (49 per cent) of these were diagnosed by the family doctor.
• Half (51 per cent) were diagnosed within six months.

If you’re concerned about dementia for yourself or someone you care about, get in touch with your family doctor and learn more about getting a diagnosis or contact your local Alzheimer Society.
