Is a five hour exam really necessary to make a diagnosis? My husband was diagnosed with mild memory impairment two years aago. Did ok on the MOCA test. Had an MRI and showed normal brain size for a 85 year old man. His memory is getting worse and repeats questions constantly at times. He does cross words puzzles and plays scrabble. Neurologist suggested meds to slow down process but he was not interested.Should we go for another evaluation?
@lbrockmeier @debbraw beat me to it - she gives a lot of good suggestions, including finding a neurologist who you feel confident in. Geriatric Medicine providers can be a wonderful resource, as well.
