Can Alzheimer's be diagnosed in an elderly 82 yr old woman showing progressive dementia, short term memory loss? Consulted a Neurologist today where I took my Mom and he said there was no certain way to tell unless through post-mortem biopsy! I want to seek early intervention if possible for her! Can he be correct in this assessment?

Did you find this post helpful?
