Memory & Cognitive Concerns
Evaluation of changes in memory, attention, organization, language, or judgment that are affecting everyday life.
Overview of Memory & Cognitive Concerns
Memory changes can have many causes, including depression, anxiety, sleep problems, medications, substance use, medical illness, or a neurocognitive condition.
A psychiatric evaluation helps identify emotional and medication factors and whether neurological, primary care, or formal cognitive testing is needed.
Common symptoms
- Repeatedly forgetting recent information
- Difficulty finding words
- Trouble planning or managing tasks
- Getting lost in familiar places
- Changes in judgment or personality
- Reduced attention or mental speed
How it can affect daily life
Cognitive changes may affect finances, medications, driving, cooking, work, and independent living. They can also be stressful for family members and caregivers.
When to seek professional help
- Changes are noticeable to others or are getting worse
- Memory or judgment affects safety or independent tasks
- Confusion appears suddenly, which requires urgent medical assessment
