Why is dementia often mistaken for age-related cognitive impairment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Similar: In the early stages dementia has the same symptoms as age-related cognitive impairment, such as word finding difficulty. However, in the middle and late stages of dementia this similarity disappears.
