How’s your memory? Try this psychiatrist’s simple memory test for dementia!
There’s no better way to learn about the memory test for Alzheimers and dementia than seeing an example memory test in action with a psychiatrist.
What we do know about the brain is that it gets less sharp and productive with age. In this clip from our Alzheimers and dementia series, the doctor asks Kyle example questions from a mental screening test for dementia called “the mini cognitive assessment.”
This leader in psychiatry performs an example memory test on Kyle and afterward, Kyle and Dr. Sportelli chat about how spotting the signs and symptoms looks for the different stages of the disease.
Many people have aging loved ones who “forget.” This screening session for Alzheimers is integral in seeing if that forgetfulness could be a sign of Alzheimers or dementia.
