What is Mild Cognitive Impairment?
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is also known as mild or "pre-dementia" in which patients experience forgetfulness or other cognitive problems (such as issues with language or thinking) that do not prevent them from daily functioning. A small proportion of patients have MCI due to depression, medication side effects, sleep disturbances such as sleep apnea, low vitamin B12 levels or low thyroid function. Some controllable risk factors include excessive alcohol intake, high blood pressure, lack of exercise, as well as lack of mental stimulation. Patients with MCI have a high risk for developing dementia, which occurs in about 14% of cases.
Typical Symptoms of Mild Cognitive Impairment
- Poor memory
- Difficulty speaking, performing tasks, or recognizing things
- I have noticed or been told that I repeat the same questions over and over
- Difficulty concentrating
- Patient unable to recall or speak his/her name and birthday
- History of dementia
- Loss of interest in hobbies or leaving the house
- History of stroke
Diagnostic Questions for Mild Cognitive Impairment
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you been experiencing memory problems recently?
- Have you been experiencing difficulty speaking, performing tasks, or recognizing things?
- Have you noticed or been told that you repeat the same questions over and over?
- Do you have difficulty concentrating?
- Can the patient remember their name and birthday?
Treatment of Mild Cognitive Impairment
There are no medications available for MCI. Lifestyle measures such as regular exercise may be helpful. A doctor can also review medications that can worsen MCI symptoms, evaluate for sleep problems, evaluate for depression, or perform bloodwork to rule out low thyroid function or B12 levels .
