OVERVIEW
Forgetfulness is not always “just old age”
Some slowing of memory is normal with age. But forgetting recent events again and again, getting lost in familiar places, or a change in personality may be signs of a brain condition such as dementia. Conditions like Parkinson’s disease, stroke and epilepsy can also affect mood, thinking and behaviour.
Neuropsychiatry looks at where the brain and the mind meet. Early dementia treatment in Mumbai, and care for related conditions, can slow some changes, treat the symptoms that are distressing, and make daily life easier for the whole family.
DID YOU KNOW?
Depression, thyroid problems, low vitamin B12 and some medicines can cause memory problems that look like dementia but can be treated. This is why a proper assessment matters before assuming the worst. The World Health Organization also stresses early diagnosis and support for caregivers.

CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Neuropsychiatric conditions we treat
Our dementia treatment in Mumbai covers all of the conditions below. Dr. Anshu works closely with neurologists and physicians, so care is joined up.
01 · Most common dementia
Alzheimer’s Disease
What it is
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. It slowly affects memory first, then thinking, language and daily activities.
Signs to look for
Forgetting recent events, repeating questions, misplacing things, getting lost, and later, difficulty with self-care.
How it is treated
Medicines that may slow symptoms in early to moderate stages, treatment of mood, sleep and behaviour problems, and guidance for the family on daily care.
Dementia
What it is
Dementia is a decline in memory and thinking that affects daily life. Besides Alzheimer’s, it can be caused by small strokes (vascular dementia), Lewy body disease, Parkinson’s and other conditions.
Signs to look for
Memory loss, poor judgement, personality change, confusion, slowed thinking and difficulty managing everyday tasks.
How it is treated
Finding the type and any treatable causes, medicines where suitable, and a care plan for safety, routine and behaviour. Dementia treatment in Mumbai at our clinic always includes the caregiver.
02 · Other types
03 · Early memory changes
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
What it is
MCI is memory or thinking trouble that is more than normal ageing but does not yet stop a person from managing daily life. Some people with MCI go on to develop dementia; many do not.
Signs to look for
Forgetting appointments or conversations more than before, while still managing home, money and self-care.
How it is treated
Regular memory checks, control of blood pressure, sugar and other risk factors, treatment of mood or sleep problems, and keeping mentally and physically active.
Parkinson’s Disease
What it is
Parkinson’s disease affects movement, but it often brings depression, anxiety, sleep problems, hallucinations or memory changes as well.
Signs to look for
Low mood, worry, loss of interest, vivid dreams, seeing things, and slowing of thinking in someone with Parkinson’s.
How it is treated
Careful treatment of mood, sleep and psychotic symptoms, chosen to work alongside Parkinson’s medicines, in coordination with the neurologist.
04 · Movement disorder
05 · After a stroke
Post-Stroke Personality Change
What it is
A stroke can change how a person feels and behaves, not only how they move or speak. Families often say, “They are not the same person any more.”
Signs to look for
Depression, irritability, anger outbursts, crying or laughing without reason, apathy and poor judgement after a stroke.
How it is treated
Treatment of post-stroke depression and emotional changes, family guidance, and support for rehabilitation and recovery.
Migraine
What it is
Migraine is a neurological condition with repeated, often severe headaches. It is closely linked with anxiety, depression, stress and poor sleep, each making the other worse.
Signs to look for
Frequent headaches with sensitivity to light or sound, nausea, and low mood or anxiety that comes with them.
How it is treated
Treatment of anxiety, depression and sleep, stress management, and some medicines that help both mood and migraine, alongside your neurologist’s care.
06 · Headache and mood
07 · Non-epileptic seizures
Pseudo Seizures (PNES)
What it is
Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) look like epileptic fits but are not caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. They are real and are linked to stress or trauma.
Signs to look for
Fits that happen with stress, normal EEG tests, and no improvement with epilepsy medicines.
How it is treated
A clear explanation of the diagnosis, therapy for the underlying stress, and careful review of epilepsy medicines with the neurologist.
Post-Ictal Confusion
What it is
After an epileptic seizure, a person may stay confused, drowsy, agitated or even psychotic for hours to days. This is called the post-ictal state.
Signs to look for
Disorientation, unusual behaviour, aggression or hallucinations after a seizure.
How it is treated
Keeping the person safe, short-term treatment of agitation or psychosis, and working with the neurologist to improve seizure control.
08 · After a seizure
09 · Later life
Geriatric Psychiatry
What it is
Older adults can have depression, anxiety, sleep problems and late-onset psychosis, which are often missed or put down to age. Geriatric Psychiatry is one of Dr. Anshu’s special interests.
Signs to look for
Loss of interest, poor sleep, worry, loneliness, suspicion, or physical complaints with no clear cause in an elderly person.
How it is treated
Gentle, carefully chosen medicines at low doses, attention to other illnesses and medicines, and support for the family. Home visits are available.

FAQS
Questions about dementia treatment in Mumbai
Still have a question? Call or WhatsApp us. We are happy to help.
Is memory loss a normal part of ageing?
Mild forgetfulness can be normal. Memory loss that affects daily life, gets worse over time, or worries the family is not normal ageing and should be assessed.
Can dementia be cured?
Most types of dementia cannot be cured, but treatment can ease symptoms, slow some changes and greatly improve daily life. Some memory problems have treatable causes, which is why assessment matters.
Why see a Psychiatrist for dementia and not only a neurologist?
Dementia brings changes in mood, sleep and behaviour that a Psychiatrist is trained to treat. Dr. Anshu works alongside your neurologist, so both sides of care are covered.
My parent refuses to see a doctor. What can we do?
This is common. Families can come for a first consultation on their own, and home visits can be arranged so that your parent is seen in a familiar place.
Can depression look like dementia?
Yes. Depression in older adults can cause poor memory and concentration. It is treatable, and memory often improves once the depression is treated.
