Abstract
Diagnosis without support may not be beneficial, and in some respects may be harmful. This is because earlier diagnosis provides more opportunity for people to adjust, resulting in prolonged independence. However, many people affected by dementia report that after being given a diagnosis they received little support, if any.
• Good post-diagnostic support services are often the key to living well with dementia.
• Adjustment to diagnosis is complex and is an important stage in offering help to living well with the condition.
• Equitable access to specialist post-diagnostic support is important.
• There are many evidence–based psychosocial treatments available for people living with dementia
