What is cognitive damage?

cognitive damage expresses a huge range of mental deficits from very smaller to extremely serious in adults and children suffering from different conditions. People may be temporarily disrupted, are diagnosed as mild cognitive damage, suffer from disease to create progressive damage or simply have a lower level of ability to learn or remember (as with mental retardation) that remain constant throughout their lives. Anyone who is cognitively disrupted may be a greater or lesser extent missing certain "normal" thinking, such as the ability to remember, learn at a normal pace, adapt the behavior of the social environment and process or understand information.

When people discuss brain deficiencies, they can mean mild cognitive damage, a real condition that increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease. It occurs in seniors and usually includes conditions such as recurring significant oblivions. Everyone sometimes forgets but a slight cognitive disturbance stretches behindThis pattern of oblivion, which is usually easily recognizable. Not everyone who has a condition that can also have symptoms such as increasing depression or anxiety, developing Alzheimer's disease, but should be monitored when it occurs in seniors.

Some other forms of relatively slight damage occur due to things such as chemotherapy and during life such as menopause. The first was sometimes referred to as "chemo brain" and the second as "brain fog". Mild deficits in knowledge related to the body's reaction to chemicals or chemical changes in the body can cause some mistakes in thinking, although people with these conditions remain highly functioning. There are also a number of temporary forms of cognitive damage, most related to traumatic brain damage or condition such as stroke. Many people are fully recovering when these conditions are recovering.

Very serious cognitive duckTower may result from things such as stroke or other forms of brain damage or may occur due to certain diseases or conditions. People with retardation lack the ability to perform what would be considered "normal" acts of knowledge and need great support for functioning. Progressive conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, and some genetic diseases in childhood gradually reduce the brain of its ability to act normally and deteriorate over time.

Given the diversity of potential causes, it is difficult to discuss cognitive damage. People with permanent mild to medium deficits in thinking can respond to interventions, accommodation and some teaching techniques. Progressive diseases are usually the most difficult to solve because there is little treatment. In diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, early treatment with certain drugs can help slow the progress of the disease.

temporary causes of disturbance such as menopause or chemotherapy mean most recoveredCognitive function as time and treatment is not necessary because the damage is mild. Recovery from things like a stroke can restore most of the brain function, although not always. Those who have real "mild cognitive damage" are usually tested to be sure that they do not have hormonal dysfunction, such as low thyroid and doctors, should carefully evaluate people who show these symptoms to make sure that the condition does not show Alzheimer's disease.
