   LAREDO, TEXAS (KGNS) - A new study reveals most people with dementia have   
   never seen a doctor about their memory and thinking problems.   
      
   Researchers assessed over 800 seniors for dementia and checked to see if they   
   had been screened for cognitive decline.   
      
   They found 55-percent of those who met the criteria for dementia had never   
   been evaluated by a doctor.   
      
   Married people were twice as likely to have been screened as those who were   
   not married.   
      
   Experts say an early diagnosis can help patients get earlier care and allow   
   families to make preparations and watch for problems with their loved one.
