Does Mild Cognitive Impairment Always Lead to Dementia?
|
David Koulack, journalist and retired psychology professor, feels shaky every morning when he wakes up. Lately, he has also become forgetful when it comes to things he used to do every day, such as getting on and off his bike. For him, the old saying, “(y)ou never forget how to ride a bike,” just didn't ring true anymore.
Recently, David began forgetting names of his neighbors and important things he had to do on a given day. After a fall and a subsequent visit to a neurologist, David learned that he has mild cognitive impairment (MCI). He is documenting his journey in a Next Avenue series, and sharing the many ways he has been coping with forgetting things and doing whatever he can to stave off
dementia.
For those who have MCI, there are slight changes to the brain that affect memory, decision-making, or reasoning skills. In many cases, MCI progresses to Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia, but not always.
Groundbreaking Study Conducted on those with MCI and Alzheimer’s
