Memory loss is a normal part of the aging process, but it's essential to be aware of the signs of more severe problems. One such problem is mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which can be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease.
MCI can easily be mistaken for the normal aging process, so it's important to know the symptoms and get diagnosed as soon as possible. There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease. Still, treatments available can help improve the quality of life for those who suffer from it.
MCI is the stage between the expected mental decline of normal aging and the more severe decline of dementia. It can cause a slight decrease in cognitive abilities, such as memory, thinking skills, and judgment, and can be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease.
For some people, MCI returns to normal cognition or remains stable. In other cases, such as when medical treatment causes cognitive impairment, MCI is mistakenly diagnosed. People experiencing cognitive changes must seek help for diagnosis and potential treatment as soon as possible.
Mild Cognitive Impairment requires a clinical diagnosis by a certified doctor after evaluating a person's symptoms. Individuals living with MCI go under a PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan or spinal fluid test to confirm the diagnosis of MCI due to Alzheimer's disease.
Early diagnosis can significantly improve or even reverse MCI symptoms. We recommend checking with your head physician if you suspect a senior loved one might be dealing with MCI or Alzheimer's disease.
If you or a loved one has started experiencing memory loss, it's important to get help from a qualified senior care provider. An elder home care agency can ensure seniors' basic needs are met. They keep close track of prescriptions, nutrition, and complementary activities for an active mind.
