Get a few more opinions from different doctors. Disorders are misdiagnosed all the time.

Hello Debbiegeri. What are your symptoms? Do you hallucinate? Do you hear voices or have sudden thoughts?. What are the symptoms of dementia?...You should find another psychiatrist not a neurologist. He will get you diagnosed and medicated. It does not matter if you were not treated well so far. What is important now is to get a right diagnose and right medicines for you. Argentox2@yahoo.com
