For a proper dementia diagnosis in India, one must see a neurologist, who will order tests like an MRI scan and neuropsychological assessments. However, from my life, I must disagree that everyone seeks these specialists early; in our village, families first notice forgetfulness with spices in the curry or missing temple visits, and they quietly consult the local doctor for "memory tonics" for years before any city hospital referral. It is only when my own grandfather could not recognize my father that we rushed to Guntur for scans, carrying all his old medical papers in a plastic bag under my arm.
