Dementia / Memory loss
My 75 year old Grandmother has been suffering from memory loss issue since last 6 years. She was diagnosed with Dementia in 2018 & neurologist had prescribed some medicines but whenever my grandmother used to take that medicine she used to vomit a lot & we had to take her to hospital.We even tried ayurvedic medicine but there has been no improvement. So can any psychiatrist help her through some councelling or exercise to manage dementia.

If indeed your grandmother is suffering from dementia (also known at times as Alzheimer’s Disease, though it is just one type of dementia) you need to understand the basics of what is happening to her. Its symptoms involve memory, thinking and social abilities that can affect her daily life badly. Dementia is caused by damage to (or loss of) nerve cells and their connections in the brain. It is almost irreversible. It affects people in their 60's and above, mostly. As a caregiver, your understanding of this disease, its symptoms and caregiving to the patient will make a lot of difference in the conditions of both the patient and the caregiver. People who are interacting with her closely also need to be aware of her condition while dealing with her. Medication from a neurologist or a psychiatrist can slow its progression and improve the patient’s quality of life. With all these as the background, I would suggest you consult a psychologist to get guided on your becoming a good caregiver to your grandmother. I am of the opinion that a psychiatrist or a neurologist can, through medication, improve her condition. If any medicine causes side effects to her, you need to tell that to the doctor and explore other options accordingly. Stopping medicines without consulting a doctor is not at all advisable.
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist / psychiatrist.

Hi
Your grandmother is experiencing side effects of the medication. Consult a neurologist and explain about the side effects of the medicine. You can consult the same neurologist or another doctor.
I suggest you consult a neurologist first and explain about the side effects of the medicine. After consulting a neurologist consult a psychologist for counselling sessions.
Next Steps
Consult a neurologist first and then consult a psychologist
