Cognitive Impairment
Cognitive impairment means having trouble with memory, concentration, decision-making and problem-solving. It is not an illness itself but a sign of another condition, such as dementia, depression, delirium, head injury or stroke.
Key points
- Alongside memory and thinking difficulties, behavioural changes, trouble controlling emotions and communication problems can appear.
- Cognitive impairment ranges from mild lapses that barely affect daily life to severe difficulties that require ongoing support.
