Suggestion for research:
1.At present, there is no national policy to support large-scale screening for dementia for the community. However, people over the age of 75 are at high risk for dementia.

2.Don't neglect the abnormal events that occur in patients. Immediate and continuous medical treatment, regular medication, and strengthening family awareness of dementia will help stabilize the disease and delay the course of the disease.
3.The government should strengthen the accessibility, popularity and continuity of formal resources for dementia and construct a comprehensive care network.
4.Narrative medicine has been implemented in many countries for many years, and the inclusion of this concept in treatment programs has contributed to the development of dementia patients and the quality of life of their families.
