Be careful. If you tell them you frequent GD, they’ll put you on the crazy pills.

Draw the clock and remember the three words. Or politely decline. BP, heart rate / rhythm, lungs, bloodwork. Otherwise thanks but no thanks.

One of the symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer's are sudden unexplained mood swings. Such as telling everyone your personal business then in the next sentence telling them it is none of their business.

It's called the MME. At least the easy one the pcp gives you. Mini mental exam??? (School was q long time ago.)
Take a random number 53 say, and add or subtract by sevens. Unless you're beyond this. |

I failed the cognitive tests my neurologist gave me (as well as short-term memory recall) and was diagnosed with dementia (mild to moderate). He started me on an Alzheimer's medication. Worst case scenario... it can take years before you succumb to the disease. Best case... you die within a year or two. I hope to have the latter. Good luck and wish you the best!

Mom just had one Tuesday. They said to prepare for 4-8 hours but we got there at 1:00, consultation lasted until 2:00 and she was done by 4:30.
I suspect they had more to do but just gave up. She did not want to be there and she gave me the impression on the way home that she answered everything with, "I don't know." Kind of sucks because she really does function ok in day to day life as far as taking care of herself but if you give her 5 words and ask her what they were a few minutes later she'll be lucky to get 1 (even though many times she DOES know because she'll insist she has no idea but tell her to just make something up and she'll sure enough name a few---she just doesn't remember that she heard them so she thinks she's pulling them out at random). So my advice would be to go with your gut on those answers even if you think you don't know----they're floating around in there somewhere. Alternatively, if you want to cut it short and get on with your day just answer, "I don't know" for everything.

Well, I wasn't actually serious but I don't believe they have the capacity for that. The family can use the recommendation as evidence for the need to have it done or DPS can make the call with the test they have for elderly drivers but I doubt the neuro-psych testing folks just stamp a paper and you can't drive anymore. We're grateful in a way that the stroke knocked out her peripheral vision so there is a physical reason she can't drive. I think it would be harder for her to accept if we just said we didn't think she was mentally capable of it anymore. |

I worked with a guy who had retired from the Marines.
One day he made the comment "I'm not crazy, they had me tested". I smirked as though he was just joking. He said no, seriously, his drill instructor sent him for a psych evaluation. He said the results came back "knows the difference between right and wrong but consciously decides to do wrong. No psychological issues found" |
