Evaluating Cognitive Changes in Older Adults
In one patient scenario discussed in the podcast, an 85-year-old woman named Ms. Smith visited with her daughter expressing concerns about cognitive changes. The daughter noticed signs of irritability and withdrawal in her mother and suspected the early signs of dementia. The importance of distinguishing between actual symptoms and perceived concerns about dementia was highlighted. The necessity for proper assessment, considering broader aspects like hearing, vision, and general health issues impacting mood and cognition, instead of solely focusing on psychiatric evaluations or assessments, was emphasized.
