‘Cognitive decline’ Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar (MBBS, MD)

 

Cognitive decline refers to a gradual deterioration in cognitive abilities such as thinking, reasoning, memory, and learning. It can occur as a natural part of aging but may also be indicative of underlying medical conditions or neurological disorders. Common causes of cognitive decline include Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, Parkinson's disease dementia, and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Symptoms of cognitive decline can vary widely but often include forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, confusion, and challenges with problem-solving or decision-making. In more advanced stages, individuals may struggle with language, spatial orientation, and performing daily tasks independently.

Diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation by healthcare professionals, including cognitive assessments, medical history review, neurological exams, and sometimes brain imaging to identify potential causes. Treatment focuses on managing underlying conditions, addressing reversible causes if possible, and providing supportive care to improve cognitive function and quality of life. Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, cognitive stimulation, and social engagement are also important in slowing cognitive decline and maintaining brain health.
