When to see a neurologist

According to David Schick, most of the time, it is your general practitioner who detects whether your disorders (loss of memory, landmarks, language, meaning...) are likely to be linked or not to a serious neurological problem. But, you can also choose to go directly to the neurologist.

Who are the people most at risk?

People over 50 and especially those with a personal history are the most exposed to neurological disorders. Vascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol, tobacco and alcohol should also be taken into consideration.

How to prepare for your first neurology consultation?

Before going to the neurologist, David Schick advises to collect and bring to the consultation the following:

· Prescriptions: All, including the most recent because some disorders can be caused by taking medication.

· Radios: Your most recent scanners and MRIs.

· Symptoms: Make a detailed list of the different disorders and note their frequency.
