@jayanthk, thanks to @SusanEllen66 efforts in starting this discussion and forming a supportive group of people living with cognitive impairment, we will be opening a new support group on Mayo Clinic Connect soon (likely June).
To everyone, here is a list of Support Groups by condition on Mayo Clinic Connect https://connect.mayoclinic.org/groups/
Following the naming convention and to help people find the new group in an alphabetical list, what name would you call the group?
A. Cognitive Impairment & Living with Early Dementia
B. Dementia: Living with Cognitive Impairment
C. Early Dementia & Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

C. Early Dementia & Mild Cognitive Impairment
@colleenyoung
I vote A, for somewhat selfish reasons. I have some cognitive impairment but not due to dementia.
@colleenyoung
I vote for C.
@colleenyoung Actually, I’d probably reverse the order of C, because not all MCI progresses to dementia.
@colleenyoung neither of them
The definition of the difference between MCI and Dementia based on Mayo is “people with MCI May be aware that their memory or mental ability has changed. ……..But these changes aren’t bad enough to impact daily life or affect usual activities.
MCI raises the risk of developing dementia but for some people symptoms might never get worse or even get better.”
MCI is first before in the order of things not dementia.
MCI should be in the title first.
