A counselor in Hyderabad offers several evidence-based treatment and support strategies. The care plan is always tailored to the individual's specific symptoms, the stage of Dementia, and their personal circumstances. The focus is on a holistic approach that addresses cognitive, emotional, and behavioural aspects of the condition.
While counselors do not prescribe medication, they work in close collaboration with psychiatrists as part of a multidisciplinary team. If medication is deemed necessary to manage cognitive or behavioural symptoms, a psychiatrist will oversee this aspect of care. The counselor helps monitor the effects of medication on behaviour and mood, providing valuable feedback to the medical team and ensuring an integrated treatment approach.
A key role of a counselor is helping manage challenging symptoms like agitation, aggression, or confusion. They use behavioural strategies and caregiver training to create a supportive and safe environment. They also help identify potential risks, such as wandering or falls, and develop plans to minimise them. If symptoms become severe, the counselor will facilitate a referral for a higher level of care.
Dementia is often accompanied by other mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. A counselor is skilled in identifying and treating these co-occurring issues through psychotherapy and other supportive interventions. Addressing these conditions is crucial as it can significantly improve the individual's overall well-being and quality of life.

Good to know
The frequency of visits to a Dementia counselor is not one-size-fits-all. It depends on several factors, including the stage and progression of Dementia, the severity of symptoms, and the specific goals of the treatment plan. Initially, you might have more frequent sessions. As management strategies become effective and the situation stabilises, the frequency may be reduced to periodic check-ins.
The cost of consulting a counselor for Dementia in Hyderabad can vary. It depends on the type of consultation (e.g., individual, family session), the duration of sessions, and the overall complexity of the care plan required. At Cadabam's, we believe in transparency. All costs and treatment options will be clearly discussed with you before you begin your care journey.
Your privacy is our utmost priority. All sessions with a Cadabam's counselor are strictly confidential. We adhere to the highest ethical standards of care, ensuring a respectful, non-judgmental, and secure environment for both the individual living with Dementia and their family members. We are committed to providing compassionate and dignified clinical care.

My wife of 35 years started forgetting everyday things, and that was when we realized something was amiss. We received a diagnosis of dementia. It felt like the world was falling apart for me. But, the Cadabams team have done such a good job of caring for her that I feel so much more peaceful now. I can see her happy, and I know that she is cared for.
