BUT, what are most useful to you to find out from a physician are the personalized answers to questions such as: What types of socialceuticals must my family and I invent to enable me to continue to live a purpose-filled life? How will you manage and support my family and me? How do you support others in your practice with my diagnosis, and can we all get together in a group on a monthly basis? How fast do you think the symptoms of my form(s) of dementia will progress? What are the signs I should look for that tell me it is time to come back to meet with you? How to you manage stress in caregivers of individuals with my diagnosis? How do you feel about using drugs to dampen agitation in people with dementia? 

Make up your own list and bring it with you. Write down answers. If they do not seem to satisfy you, tell the doctor, and if you are still dissatisfied - change physicians.  

Stand up and speak out. You are the consumer/customer. It may be that no doctor has all the answers you want/need. But, you decide.
