It takes a professional to tell us if we have dementia or a mimic. Seeing a professional might provide us with good news -- our symptoms are treatable and might be reversed.

Could these reversible conditions also cause cerebral hypoperfusion of the frontal and temporal regions of the brain, that is two standard deviations below normal?
