Cognitive Disorder Symptoms that Require Therapy
Cognitive function can change over time and can be exacerbated by neurological processes and injuries to the brain. Luckily, this can be improved with ongoing therapy and support.
Individuals with cognitive disorders may experience:
Memory loss that disrupts daily life.
Difficulty concentrating and maintaining focus.
Impaired reasoning or judgment.
Confusion with time or place, making it hard to follow directions.
Causes and Complications of Cognitive Disorders
Cognitive disorders can stem from a variety of sources:
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Brain injuries from accidents or strokes.
Infections affecting the brain.
Genetic predispositions to cognitive impairments.
Without appropriate intervention, cognitive disorders can lead to loss of independence in managing personal and financial affairs, social withdrawal and isolation and put you at increased risk of additional injuries due to confusion and memory loss.
