Memory Screening

Getting your memory screening is a significant first step toward finding out if you may have a memory impairment. While a memory screening is not used to diagnose any particular illness, it is very helpful in your long-term health and wellness.

Some memory issues can be readily treated, such as those caused by vitamin deficiencies or thyroid problems. Other memory problems might result from causes that are not currently reversible, such as Alzheimer’s disease. In general, the earlier the diagnosis, the easier it is to treat one of these conditions – another really good reason to get memory screening.

Early recognition of mild cognitive impairment (MCI)— mild memory loss that may eventually lead to dementia— provides an opportunity for us to treat this condition, and possibly slow down the changes in memory and other thinking skills.

Memory screening can help your doctor make an early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, improving your quality of life. Individuals with Alzheimer’s disease can learn more about the disease, including available and emerging medical treatments; get counseling and other social services support in their community; address legal, financial, and other planning issues; and participate in decision-making.

Because memory loss can affect your overall health as well as your quality of life, it is very important to identify the disease or problem that is causing memory loss. We encourage you to schedule your memory screening with us today by calling (949) 566-8179.
