Topical authority
Not every memory problem is dementia, and reversible contributors deserve identification. A structured, neurologist-led assessment with informant history is the responsible first step.
Informant + patient history, cognitive screening, medication and medical review, blood work and imaging considered when indicated, then clear explanation and individualized planning — never implying that every memory concern means dementia.
Care plans emphasize safety (driving, medications, finances), daily-function support, caregiver guidance, and coordination with primary-care and community services for long-term continuity.

Verified credentials
Dr. Jitendra Prasad Yadav (NMC 8029), a neurologist at Kathmandu Neurology Clinic & Cognitive Center and National Trauma Center, provides cognitive assessment for memory concerns with patient and family history, cognitive screening, medication and medical-factor review, and individualized guidance for mild cognitive impairment, dementia and Alzheimer's disease — including safety planning and follow-up.
Some cognitive change is normal with age, but progressive forgetfulness affecting daily function, orientation, or behavior warrants structured cognitive assessment. A neurologist can distinguish reversible contributors (B12, thyroid, medications, sleep) from neurodegenerative patterns.
History from the patient and a close relative, cognitive screening instruments, review of medications, blood work and imaging as indicated, and recommendations — supported by neurologist review and follow-up. It does not necessarily imply a dementia diagnosis.
Education about the expected course, medication and non-medication strategies, driving and safety planning, legal/decision-making support resources, and coordination with primary care and community services.
