An assessment typically involves a detailed history from the person and a family member, cognitive testing, blood tests and a brain scan, sometimes across more than one visit. The output is a diagnosis, or a clear statement that there is not one yet, and a plan.
Referral usually comes from a primary care doctor. Some clinics take self-referrals.
Why it matters
A named diagnosis unlocks treatment, planning and benefits; without one, everything is guesswork.
