Recognition and Diagnosis: Early identification of dementia is crucial. This involves recognizing symptoms, which may include memory loss, difficulty in thinking or problem-solving, and changes in mood or behavior.
Comprehensive Assessment: Once dementia is suspected, a thorough assessment by healthcare professionals, including neurologists, psychologists, or geriatricians, is necessary. This can involve medical history, physical examinations, cognitive tests, and possibly brain imaging.
Each individual's experience with dementia is unique, and the treatment plan should be personalized to their needs and circumstances. Collaboration between healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers is essential in all phases of dementia care.

The main input and output of each phase in dementia treatment can be summarized as follows:
In each phase, the inputs generally consist of assessments, information gathering, and collaborative discussions, leading to outputs that include plans, strategies, or direct interventions aimed at managing the various aspects of dementia care.
