Diagnosis of DEMENTIA OR COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT

A diagnosis of dementia requires that at least two central functions of the brain to be impaired and interfere with daily living. These functions are of memory, language skills, ability to focus and pay attention, ability to reason and problem-solve, and visual perception.3

Doctors check for medical history and conduct a physical examination.3

As no single test helps diagnose dementia, a number of tests may be needed to find out the problem.3

  • Cognitive and neuropsychological tests: These test for thinking skills
  • Neurological evaluation: This evaluation tests for language, senses, balance, and reflexes
  • Brain scans: CT or MRI scans look for any evidence of stroke / bleeding in brain or tumors. Additionally, PET scans show patterns of brain activity.
  • Laboratory tests: Simple blood tests can detect problems in the body which may affect functioning of the brain, e.g. vitamin deficiencies.
