Coping with a Diagnosis
- Give yourself time to process the diagnosis.
- Try to identify the emotions you are feeling and share with someone you are comfortable confiding in.
- Connect with others living with dementia through local support groups.
- Empower yourself by taking responsibility for learning about your diagnosis to the degree you are able.
“We need words of encouragement. It’s ok to seek help from professionals like a psychia-trist to deal with the diagnosis.”
