[Review] I checked my risk in advance with a dementia test.

 

 

Last week, I took my mother with me

Daegu Good Morning Hospital I went to .

The reason is To get tested for dementia It was.

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

My sister-in-law said she was a little worried.

 

My mother remembers promises better than I do.

Calculating or counting, acting and being active

Because it's so clear

I thought, "What kind of dementia test is this?"

Now that I've actually taken the test, I think I did well.

 

 

 

 

Good Morning Hospital is a famous hospital for brain diseases.

I also had a ruptured cerebral blood vessel and it hurt so much.

I went here as an emergency and got tested and treated.

Later, I was transferred to a university hospital.

 

Anyway... that's why there are so many people.

The waiting time is also incredibly long.

I went to Jeonjeonju to get tested with my sister-in-law.

Since the test cannot be done on the same day, make a reservation

I took him there last week.

 

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

You were doing an inspection.

The test I did took quite a while.

I think it took about an hour and a half.

 

 

 

 

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

There was a neurophysiological examination room.

There are quite a few labs like that.

While my mother was being examined

I just sat in the chair and waited.

And after my mother's examination, I went in

After hearing questions about my mother's personal life and behavior,

I think the process of answering took about 20 minutes.

 

 

 

 

And after waiting for another long time.

I finally met my teacher.

Just say no and wait for the results

All they did was give a prescription.

When I asked what I should do to prevent dementia,

He said it would be good to show a screen like this.

 

The result is... mild cognitive impairment It came out as .

That is, it is a level slightly lower than the normal range.

It's not dementia, but it's progressing to dementia a little faster.

The probability is high.

 

There is no cure for dementia.

So what you can do now is

They say that taking brain supplements is all that matters.

Because brain nutrients are not medicine

It prevents dementia or something like that.

It doesn't have a slowing effect, though.

Just like we take chondroitin for joint health

He said he was expecting that kind of effect.

I took two months' worth of nutritional supplements,

I'll get a follow-up appointment in two months, and then I'll just take more nutritional supplements.

And they said they would re-examine me in a year.

 

 

 

 

Because dementia has no cure

Prevention and early detection are important. They say so.

They say that in the case of dementia, it is 200% genetic.

Genetic factors are very important.

That doesn't mean that it's through acquired effort

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

therefore Check the current status in advance

While managing the parts that I can do

We need to delay and prevent it as much as possible.

 

In that sense, my mother ended up

It seems like you had a good pre-examination. I think so.
