Cognitive Disorders are conditions that impact cognitive function, including memory, thinking, perception, and can include disorders such as dementia or cognitive impairment.
Cognitive disorders are conditions that affect mental processes such as memory, perception, and reasoning. Examples include dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Symptoms of cognitive disorders vary depending on the specific condition but may include memory loss, confusion, difficulty concentrating, language problems, and changes in mood and behavior.
Age is a significant risk factor for many cognitive disorders, including dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Other risk factors may include genetics, lifestyle factors, and certain medical conditions.
Diagnosis of cognitive disorders usually involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and cognitive testing. Treatment options depend on the specific condition but may include medications, therapy, and lifestyle changes.
