My uk ladies sister (in Thailand) is it seems "loosing her mind". In reality are there health professionals who can diagnose possible Alzheimer's disease. Any thoughts , MOCA/Montreal treatments or therapies.

...they can diagnose or being diagnosed....??

Yes, there are specialists in Thailand who can diagnose this (though in early cases may only be able to get a baseline against which to measure further changes).

How old is this woman and on what basis is it felt she is "losing her mind"?

Where in Thailand does she live?

Yes thank you

"Loosing her mind" is not my opinion or words. My ladies English is sometimes limited.

Re her sister , I believe she is inclined to not remember events and other information.

Located approx half way between Korat and Khon Kaen near rt 2 . We have money for decent medical professionals. She is as I understand in her 60s

She should consult Assoc. Professor Pongsatorn Paholpak.

Also in a supervisory capacity at Khon Kaen University Hospital (Srinagarind). But will get more direct time with her at the private hospital above.

Research has indicated Lithium orotate 5-10mg is a useful protective against dementia and slowing its progress. iHerb. This doc should be aware of it.

I disagree, though, about the times a doc takes, public or private. I only use public hospitals. Aside from long wait times, my docs take as much time as the patient feels they need. (I usually come armed with a printout of symptoms, Internet research aso. Docs just don't have enough time to do all the reading we do.)

There is promising but not yet proven evidence that low-dose lithium orotate may help protect against dementia, but so far this comes mainly from animal studies and early lab findings—not from rigorous human trials.

At present, it cannot be considered a validated or recommended treatment.

But...it also causes NO harm. I'm from the dose of prevention school. Now those mice can find their carkeys!

This is correct.

Most of the things one reads about online re "new treatments" are just from animal studies. This is nto a small detail. The majority of treatments that are effective in animal studies prove not to be in human trials.

True, and high-dose Lithium carbonate for bipolar blocks thyroid function. So will 5-10mg but almost negligibly.

Yep, animal studies. But I think a possible preventative is beter than...what were we talking about? Oh, and what's your name again?
