From Memory Loss to Dementia
Mild cognitive impairments are a normal part of aging. Beginning around the age of 65, chances are you’re experiencing some level of cognitive impairment. But age isn’t the only factor. A brain health assessment may reveal light, medium, or severe damage due to:
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Head injuries
- Diseases
- Sleep-related problems
- Drug and alcohol abuse
- Mental illness
If you believe you’re experiencing symptoms of cognitive impairment, you’re not alone. More than 16 million Americans suffer from mild cognitive impairment, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A brain health assessment encourages you and your doctor to uncover some of the most common signs, such as:
- Forgetting appointments and events that are important
- Being more impulsive than usual
- Showing increasing poor judgment
- Being generally more forgetful
- Losing your train of thought while reading or speaking
- Feeling overwhelmed by things that you previously handled well
- Having trouble navigating familiar environments
Risk Factors for Mental Decline
Some causes of cognitive health decline are due to your reaction to the decline. Others happen as a result of your symptoms. The causes of cognitive decline that a brain health assessment seeks to uncover include:
- Depression
- Apathy
- Anxiety
- Aggression
- Irritability
- Stroke
- Low or high blood sugar
In addition to the main culprits of cognitive impairment, which are age and heredity, other lifestyle habits make you more susceptible to early warning signs of dementia. These can include:
- Lack of aerobic movement and physical exercise
- Obesity that causes high blood pressure
- Smoking
- High cholesterol levels
- Diabetes
- Little to no social interactions
- Few mentally stimulating activities
