How Do I Know if I (or My Loved One) Has MCI?

People with MCI can still take care of themselves and do normal activities.

Symptoms of MCI may include:

Forgetting to go to events and appointments
Losing things often
Having more trouble coming up with words than other people their age
Getting lost in familiar surroundings

Your doctor can test your thinking, memory, and language to see if you have MCI. You may also need to see a specialist for more tests. Because MCI may be an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease, it’s really important to see your doctor every 6 to 12 months.
