cognitive dysfunction

Cognitive dysfunction refers to a decline in mental abilities, affecting skills like thinking, memory, attention, and decision-making. It can result from various factors, including age, stress, medical conditions, or neurological disorders. Individuals may experience difficulties in concentrating, remembering information, or processing tasks efficiently. This impairment can impact daily life, work performance, and social interactions. While cognitive dysfunction is not the same as dementia, it can be a precursor or associated with such conditions. Identifying the underlying causes is essential for effective management and improvement of cognitive function.
