The theme of this article is the recognition of and response to dementia in general practice. Its aim is to clarify the tasks of diagnosing dementia, to advise on the use of cognitive function tests, to suggest ways of establishing the subtype of dementia where possible and to assist general practitioners in talking about dementia with their patients and their families.
