In this insightful video, Dr Praveen Gupta, a Senior Neurologist, discusses the critical role of cognitive function assessments in diagnosing and treating dementia. While advanced imaging techniques like MRI and PET scans are commonly used, they may not detect early-stage dementia or pinpoint specific brain dysfunctions. Dr Gupta explains how cognitive function assessments are essential in identifying minor cognitive deficits, distinguishing between true dementia and pseudo dementia, and determining the specific type of dementia a patient may have. By understanding these cognitive impairments early on, healthcare professionals can design more effective treatment plans, including cognitive behavioral therapy, tailored to the patient’s needs. Dr Gupta emphasizes that cognitive assessments can be even more informative than brain imaging in certain cases, making them a crucial tool in dementia care.

In this informative video, Dr Praveen Gupta, a Senior Neurologist, explains the concept of pseudo dementia, a condition often confused with true dementia. As more young and middle-aged individuals report memory loss, Dr Gupta sheds light on how stress and overwork can impact cognitive function, leading to pseudo dementia. He differentiates between true dementia, which involves progressive brain degeneration, and pseudo dementia, where memory issues arise from the brain's inability to function optimally under stress. Dr Gupta discusses how cognitive behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes can effectively treat pseudo dementia. He emphasizes the importance of proper mental assessments, including cognitive function tests, to accurately diagnose the condition. If you're experiencing memory issues, this video will help you understand whether it might be pseudodementia and what steps to take for treatment. Don't forget to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis.
