Many older people who have hearing loss don’t wear hearing aids on a regular basis. This is a mistake because hearing loss affects the speech center of the brain.

One of the more helpful videos I have come across since I was diagnosed. Wish I had found it sooner.

Donepezil is tier 1 I have been taking it for 4 months now. Fantastic improvement. @85, this Veteran is still improving. However, there are processes that are gone. Always been a super fast typist with an excellent vocabulary. A lot of that is gone. My dexterity with my fingers on the keyboard don"t remember where to go. Driving down the road, make a right turn into a new street and I know I turned onto the correct road, but, I don't remember where I am and where I was going.

Thank you so much. Glad I came across your video. It was very helpful to me. I feel I have MCI and also feel it is getting worse over the years. You have given me the courage to go and get it check out. Thanks again.

Thank you for this very informative video. I am 80 and notice that I often grapple with remembering a word or a name of some famous person. I will keep monitoring myself and see a professional person if I notice an increase in these problems.

It would be compassionate, as well as wise to present the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen, as he has done great work helping those with cognitive decline. He has shown that cognitive decline can be stopped, and healing can occur With accurate diagnosis and treatment protocols in the greater majority of those that have been in the numerous studies that he and his colleagues have conducted.

Serious traumatic brain injury also causes mild cognitive impairment. And can confirmed on neuropsychological testing. This happened to me after a MVa age 38
I completing a bachelors psych, a bachelor of science Kines and masters in kinesiology and three years of my PhD in kinesiology. I was a published researcher. Extremely competitive athlete
I’m also a clinical dietician and work with people who have brain impairment and agree with the ketogenic
Plan. So please add this to your future talks that people with TBI at a young age can develop MCI. Great video love the information thank you

Thank you very much for your help I understand about cognitive problems more now

Very informative, thanks. Can chronic anxiety/depression cause dementia in elderly people who show moderate cognitive impairment ?

Thanks for this wonderful video. I was recently diagnosed with MCI, which explains why work has been such a challenge these past few years. I do fire science analytics and struggle to retain, understanding and process information in written and data form. The problem is the “mild” in MCI suggests it’s not a big deal. My company is willing to provide “accommodations” so that I can continue to work. I would prefer early retirement as I worry a mistake in my analysis will affect human safety and I am frustrated/exhausted trying to keep up at work. I am 50 years old. Is MCI simply a term of art that in no way suggest one can continue to function in their current profession?

Thank you for the video. It was very informative. I’m trying to find out about MCI because my friend has been diagnosed as having it. Not having been around her lately because of Covid has made me shocked at the change in her. She takes numerous walks a day because she says “there’s nothing to do.” I walk with her once a day and she has difficulty with word retrieval, which I expect with her diagnosis, but she has forgotten her daughter-in-law’s name, names of her long-standing neighbors, and she retells the same stories within a walk. (Sounds like I’m worried that it’s more serious than MCI. Doesn’t it?) My big question, though, is - should I encourage her to do things? For example, she used to read quite a bit, and bake, and sew. Her husband has tried to get her to do puzzles and I asked her about it and she just says, “I’m not good at that.” Should I suggest activities like her trying adult coloring, or come up with sewing projects we could do together ?

Wow, wish my doc would read articles supporting me.

Thank you so much for your presentation! My
Lumbar puncture, and FDGPET SCANS THIS YEAR SHOWS BIOMARKERS FOR ALZHEIMERS. BUT I have not been diagnosed at this time. I have been referred to a specialist that treats geriatric patients for cognitive testing, and for an Amyloid PET AT MY STATE’S UNIVERSITY. MY NEUROLOGIST also prescribed Aricept which I did not fill at this time. I’m waiting to see the Specialist. What do you think?

[qiyang]

Thank you for the video! It's informative. I wonder what's the most common problems for people with MCI in their daily lives.

[markferwerda]

Have you read the Dr. Dale Bredesen books? You as a physician need to read them!

[kathrynoneill]

I'm worried about my grandma I think she has this. She keeps looking for my cousin who left two weeks ago. But their are days when she is very sharp. I just don't know what to do.

My sister was asked to draw a clock with a certain time (10 after 11). She got that wrong. She was also asked to remember 3 words but couldn’t. Her doctor thinks this is MCI. This doesn’t sound like the kind of test you’re talking about.

[junmacaust]

i'm thinking of ketone supplement for my wife who is 66 years and have been diagnosed with MCI more than 2 years ago. She's drinking a supplement and 2 high blood prescription. I hope she won't get any worse..I pray her condition was not caused by ramipril she's taking for hypertension.

[mariel]
