| Annotation | Objective 2 of the National Dementia Strategy, 'Living well with dementia' (2009) relates to provision of good quality early diagnosis and intervention services. As the All Party Parliamentary Group on Dementia inquiry probes the question of how to raise rates of diagnosis, the author sets out his thoughts on the complex barriers to diagnosing dementia early - if at all. The barriers to diagnosis include ageism, stigma, isolation, co-morbidity, therapeutic nihilism, and diagnostic denial. (RH). |
