What Are Cognitive Disorders?
Cognitive disorders are conditions that impair mental functions such as memory, reasoning, language, and problem-solving. They may be temporary or progressive and often impact relationships, work, and quality of life. Common types include:
- Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI): Subtle but noticeable declines in memory and thinking that may increase risk for dementia.
- Dementia: A group of conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, marked by progressive loss of memory, judgment, and daily functioning.
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Cognitive decline resulting from head trauma, often affecting concentration, mood, or problem-solving.
- Other Cognitive Challenges: Related to aging, stroke, neurological conditions, or mental health concerns.
How Are Cognitive Disorders Diagnosed?
At Kema Health Services, evaluation may include:
- Comprehensive medical and psychiatric history
- Cognitive assessments that measure memory, attention, and reasoning
- Symptom checklists and functional questionnaires
- Collaboration with family members to better understand daily challenges
These tools help the team identify patterns, track changes, and create individualized care plans.
