"Forgetting things ,falling ,and just not feeling myself"

About: Community Services - (OPMH) / Older People's Mental Health North

(as the patient),

A lovely lady called Marie came out and assessed me after going to see my doctor with my daughter. l was getting confused, forgetting things, people's names and had started to get really dizzy and falling and not feeling myself. She referred me to the memory team who after assessing me diagnosed me with MCI. Marie told me she thinks this all stems from years of depression after losing my wife. She told me how to look after myself,keep taking the medication prescribed and has now referred me to MINDSET for additional support for me and my daughter.
