Should i get tested for dementia? im only 65 but have increasing difficulty doing complex tasks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: All cognitive difficulties are not dementia, as a matter of fact, they are usually not dementia unless the person is over 80. That being said, i couldn't say it wasn't early dementia and so if you are concerned, your family doctor should be able to screen you.
