[Review] Checked the risk in advance with a dementia test

 

 

Last week, I took my mother with me.

I visited Daegu Good Morning Hospital.

The reason was to undergo a dementia test.

I didn't know well because I don't live with my mother.

My sister-in-law said she's a little worried.

 

My mother remembers appointments better than I do.

Calculations, counting, acting, and engaging in activities.

Because you are so clear.

I thought it was a dementia test.

After actually getting the test, I feel that I did the right thing.

 

 

 

 

Good Morning Hospital is a hospital famous for its expertise in brain disorders.

When my brain blood vessel tore and I was in so much pain

I went there urgently for examination and received treatment.

I turned off the power later and went to the university hospital.

 

Anyway... there are a lot of people.

The line is very long.

I went to get tested with my sister-in-law the week before last.

Since the test couldn't be done immediately that day, I made a reservation.

I took care of it last week.

 

When I arrived at the hospital, my mother went in first.

You were having an examination.

The tests I do tend to take quite a bit of time.

It took about an hour and a half.

 

 

 

 

I parked on the first floor and went down to the basement.

There was a neurophysiology testing room.

There are quite a few laboratories like that.

While my mother was undergoing the examination

I just sat in a chair and waited.

And after my mother's examination, I went in.

Listening to questions about my mother's personal safety and behavior

The process of answering took about 20 minutes.

 

 

 

 

And then, after waiting for quite a while.

Finally, I met the teacher.

Just say "wait" about the result.

The level of providing prescriptions was the end of it.

When I asked how I should do to prevent dementia

They said it would be good if you could show this kind of screen.

 

The result is... mild cognitive impairment.

In other words, it is slightly below the normal range.

It's not dementia, but it leads to dementia a little sooner.

It means the probability is high.

 

There is no cure for dementia.

So, what can I do now?

I heard that taking brain supplements is all you need.

Brain supplements are not medications.

Prevents the progression to dementia.

It's not that there is an effect that makes things slower, but

Just as we take chondroitin for joint health

They say they expect that kind of effect.

I brought two months' worth of supplements.

I'll have a follow-up appointment in two months, and at that time, I'll only be getting more supplements.

And they said they would do a re-examination after one year.

 

 

 

 

Since there is no cure for dementia

Prevention and early detection are important.

In the case of dementia, genetics are said to be 200%.

Genetic factors are very important.

However, even with voluntary effort

They say it's not something that can't be controlled.

So, let's check the current status in advance.

While managing the parts I can do

I should try to delay as much as possible and focus on prevention.

 

In that sense, ultimately, my mother...

I think I was able to get the tests done well in advance.
