I’m reading all the comments in here about dimentia.
I know for a fact that I have it but did not think anything about it. Figured and always saying “just getting old”?
However I have noticed lately, basically in the last year more and more bad bad dreams. Violent. Maybe too many action movies, I said.
My question is. What kind of a doctor does one see to diagnose this fun event? My pcp always just looks at blood pressure and depression. Ok so that needs to be taken care of. I’m 82 and I feel these changes coming on. Do I just go on as usual and not worry about them?

@kathymj a gerontologist or neurologist would be a good starting point.

If you are lucky enough to have a gerontologist I. Your area that may be a starting point. Otherwise you might tell your PCP that you want a referral to someone who can evaluate you.
