We all forget things as we age, but that doesn’t mean we have dementia. Dementia isn’t just one condition - it’s a term that refers to symptoms that cause a decline in mental ability that interferes with daily life. Alzheimer's is the most common type of dementia and accounts for 60 to 80 percent of cases. Vascular dementia is the second most common dementia type and occurs after a stroke. Memory loss that worsens over time can be another type of dementia.  Pour plus d'informations et les services locaux des psychiatres locaux à Montréal et à Québec PQ, contactez votre psychiatre local

    Zero help for being struggling with thoughts of suicide in port Alberni. There is 1 psych for the entire town of 17,000 this is just ridiculous I feel like theirs is no help and I’m gonna end up killing myself after laying here in bed depressed for years. So sick of living like this and people telling me to contact a doctor when there’s no doctor to directly contact it’s just an exhausting game of telephone just to find out you can’t be helped. I hate the fuckin system. It further pushes me to think negatively

    Action Plan
    He wrongly diagnosed a family member, stating she was fit after 2 brief meetings with her, she continued her destructive behavior unheeded because of his quackery. No family were consulted by him with their concerns, which led to this woman being financially drained by outsiders. Everything I read on elder abuse this is a classic example, he did not do his job to stop this and was derelict in his duty.
