[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because there isn't anything that can be done, what would be the benefit of a neurologist? This is a real question, not a snarky one. Would seeing a neurologist help OP's father access different supports down the road? Is tracking the decline helpful? Or rather, does the helpfulness outweigh the stress and sadness of it?[/quote] I think it depends on the person. If going to the neurologist agitates OP's parents, then it is not worth it. If seeing a doctor gives them a sense of *doing* something, then they should go. FWIW my mom is the type who will worry and google too much. Taking my dad to the neurologist and getting an official diagnosis made her feel better because they ruled out Alzheimers and more aggressive diseases. My dad is easygoing and enjoyed talking to the neurologist, so it was NBD. [/quote]
