Genetic Testing
Some cases of dementia are possibly caused by a few genetic factors. Therefore, your doctor might suggest genetic testing to check for this possibility. This is especially necessary when you have a family history of dementia, meaning that your parents, siblings, or close relatives are dealing with this condition. A genetic test would be helpful to detect the early onset of dementia and allow the doctor to make a better treatment plan. However, this is still a controversial and developing area, so there might be some important things you need to clarify with your doctor in advance. [6]
