DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS

 
 
Our Services > Differential Diagnostics
 

Differential diagnostics is the art and science of weighing the probability of one disease versus that of other diseases, then plausibly accounting for a patient's presenting concerns. It is essential to successful clinical outcome.

​

While presenting signs and symptoms may capture the most attention, is the the patient's history and context that is often most relevant to getting the diagnosis (and thus the treatment), correct.   

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
One of the most common differentials is between normal benign aging, depression, and dementia. Select the table below to view key brain and behavior variables which point to the "unremarkable" as well as to the "of concern and warranting attention."   
 
 
Your history, who you were, who you are now . . . and all the years in between, is fundamental to providing quality care to seniors and geriatrics.
