Frequently Asked Questions

What are common mental health disorders?

Common mental health disorders include anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. These conditions impact everyday life and require professional care.

What treatments are available for mental health disorders?

Mental health disorders can be treated with therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual's needs.

How is dementia diagnosed?

Dementia is diagnosed through clinical assessments and cognitive tests. Early diagnosis is essential for managing symptoms and providing support.

Does a person with dementia know they are confused?

In the early stages of dementia, a person may be aware of their confusion and memory problems, but as the condition progresses, they often become less aware of their difficulties. Some may even be unaware they have a problem, attributing their difficulties to other factors. This lack of awareness is sometimes referred to as anosognosia.

What is considered a learning disability?

Learning disabilities are characterised by a persistent impairment in at least one of three major areas: reading, written expression, and/or math. An estimated 5 to 15% of school-age children struggle with a learning disability.

What are the 4 types of learning disabilities?

While there isn't a single definitive categorisation of learning disabilities, a common framework in the UK and elsewhere recognises four broad areas: Communication and Interaction, Cognition and Learning, Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties, and Sensory and/or Physical Needs. Within the "Cognition and Learning" category, specific learning difficulties (SpLD) like dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dyspraxia are often included.

What skills do you need to work with people with learning disabilities?

Working with individuals with learning disabilities requires patience and highly developed, flexible communication skills. It's important to be self-aware, assertive, and sensitive to ensure individuals do not face discrimination. Human interaction is key.
