Dr Praveen Gupta (Head, Department of Neurology, Fortis Hospital, Gurgaon)
In this insightful video, Dr Praveen Gupta, a Senior Neurologist, discusses the critical role of cognitive function assessments in diagnosing and treating dementia.

Dr Gupta explains how cognitive function assessments are essential in identifying minor cognitive deficits, distinguishing between true dementia and pseudo dementia, and determining the specific type of dementia a patient may have.
