So my mum has a cognitive impairment diagnosis since feb this year.. she has been deteriorating for past 5 years and she is just becoming more and more odd by the day. Her memory is still there but it’s her behaviours and brain scan which led to diagnosis. Anyway, dad is struggling massively, infact we all are and are struggling to be around her without snapping which I don’t want to do but it’s so hard sometimes. I was just wondering how often you should be checked after your first brain scan and diagnosis ? I feel she needs to have a brain scan once a year which we will happily pay for privately but I don’t know if this is the norm. She has deteriorated since her diagnosis and we are just waiting for them to say it’s dementia now , but all the while her memory is there they can’t diagnose dementia apparently
