IMH Memory Clinic offers assessment, support, information and advice to those with memory problems and their caregivers. This specialty clinic involves patients and caregivers going through a series of structured interviews for the diagnosis of dementia.
Typically, a patient will undergo an assessment to determine the cause of his memory loss and, depending on the outcome of these assessments; the psychiatrist may refer the patient for a neuropsychological assessment by a psychologist, order blood investigations or a brain scan. The doctor may also prescribe the patient with medication for dementia.
This clinic is run by a multidisciplinary team consisting of a psychiatrist, memory clinic nurse, psychologist, occupational therapist and medical social worker.
