About investigation

An investigation for a suspected cognitive disease/dementia always contains several pieces of the puzzle.

This is because there is currently no single test or simple test to get a quick answer.

In simple terms, the assessment can be divided into a basic dementia assessment and an extended dementia assessment. There are national guidelines and care pathways that determine what should be included.

The basic assessment is usually carried out in primary care and the extended assessment is carried out at a specialized memory clinic or cognitive clinic if the basic assessment is not enough to understand what the problems are due to.
