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

Action Plan

Dr Lohrasbe has been my Dr for almost five years and she told me in our first meeting that she would b hard on me sometimes but, that she wanted me to feel I could use her as a sort of touchstone. She was very tough on me! There were times I wanted to quit but I would eventually discuss my concerns and she would tell me why she was doing what she was doing. I She is very careful at diagnosing and she takes the time to make sure your medications are perfect. (With me that took forever as I seem to be sensitive or allergic to every mood stabilizer out there). For years I was diagnosed with chronic depression and medications would suddenly stop working so my previous Drs would up the dosage until it seemed to work. Dr. Lohrasbe took the time to poke deeper and eventually diagnosed me with PTSD due to childhood trauma OCD, Anxiety and BiPolar II. She then set up a treatment plan that included dietary guidelines and bedtimes, CBT, group therapy, research and homework. She is tough but fair and excruciatingly diligent when it come to your mental wellness. The Dr who referred me to her said she had a terrible bedside manner but was a genius with the brain chemical side of things. That may be true, but, I would not have her any other way. She has indeed become my Touchstone.

Psychiatrist

A local psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental disorders and addiction. Unlike psychologists, psychiatrists can prescribe medication in addition to providing therapy. Psychiatrists work in settings including private practice, hospitals, and institutions. In treating patients a psychiatrist can also educate them on antidepressants, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, adolescent psychiatry and post-traumatic stress disorder. Studies have found that children who have healthy diets are more likely to be happy. Children who are overweight have a higher risk of experiencing low self-esteem, depression and negative body image such as anorexia .

Research shows that physical activity promotes the release of powerful chemicals such as endorphins and serotonin, which improve mood and feelings of well-being and can be used to treat addiction . It can lower cortisol (also called the “stress hormone”) levels and support nerve cell growth in the hippocampus, a region of the brain that helps regulate mood.
