What Are Cognitive Disorders?
Cognitive disorders are conditions that affect thinking, memory, reasoning, and decision-making abilities. They can range from mild impairment to severe forms such as dementia, impacting daily life and independence.
Common Causes and Risk Factors
Aging, brain injury, stroke, infections, and certain genetic conditions can contribute to cognitive decline. Risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and lack of mental stimulation may also increase the likelihood of developing these disorders.
Diagnosis and Management
Early diagnosis is key to managing cognitive disorders effectively. Treatment may involve medications, cognitive therapy, and lifestyle changes such as brain exercises, healthy diet, and social engagement to slow progression and maintain quality of life.
