Cognitive impairment refers to difficulties with
mental functions such as memory, reasoning, attention, and decision-making. Key
features include:
1. **Memory Problems**: Difficulty recalling
recent events, conversations, or important information. This can affect both
short-term and long-term memory.
2. **Attention Deficits**: Struggling to maintain
focus, becoming easily distracted, or having trouble following conversations or
tasks.
3. **Executive Dysfunction**: Challenges with
planning, organizing, problem-solving, and completing tasks that require
multiple steps.
4. **Language Difficulties**: Problems with
finding the right words, understanding spoken or written language, or engaging
in coherent conversation.
5. **Poor Judgment**: Making decisions that seem
out of character or risky, and having trouble understanding the consequences of
actions.
6. **Reduced Processing Speed**: Taking longer to
think things through, respond, or perform cognitive tasks.
Cognitive impairment can result from various
conditions, including dementia, brain injuries, stroke, or mental health
disorders. Early recognition and intervention are crucial for managing symptoms
and improving quality of life.
