Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Cognitive impairment.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you noticed the cognitive impairment? - to determine if acute or chronic. If acute in nature must consider delirium as possible cause of cognitive impairment. Delirium is an acute confusional state due to many causes e.g. infection, drug intoxication, alcohol withdrawal, liver failure, kidney failure, hypoxia, low blood sugar, stroke, heart attack or head injury.
- What exactly do you mean by cognitive impairment? - many symptoms can be used to explain cognitive impairment e.g. forgetfulness, poor concentration, confusion, disorientation, dementia, learning disability, mental retardation, delusion, paranoia, hallucinations, disorganization, indecisiveness.
- What is the age of the patient with cognitive impairment? - if a child must consider attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disorders , causes of mental retardation e.g. fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, Down syndrome, trisomy 18, agenesis of the corpus callosum, cerebral palsy, Chiari malformation, fetal alcohol syndrome, hydrocephalus, Rett's syndrome, Soto's syndrome, microcephaly, autism, Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
- If patient is a child, what are the details of the pregnancy, birth and new born? - may detect prenatal infections, prenatal drugs and toxins, birth trauma, neonatal infection as a possible cause of cognitive impairment.
- At what time of the day is the cognitive impairment worse? - e.g. if symptoms are worse in the late afternoon and at night delirium ( acute confusional state) is most likely.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Cognitive impairment) may include:
- Impulsive behavior, inattentiveness and hyperactivity? - may suggest attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
- Poor social interaction and language delay in a child? - e.g. poor eye contact, aloneness, difficulties relating to peers - may suggest autism as cause of cognitive impairment.
- Developmental milestone delay in children? - e.g. if not walking by 18 months consider Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
- Symptoms of depression? - Depression may exhibit many of the features of an early dementia, especially memory impairment, slowed thinking and lack of spontaneity.
- Fever? - can suggest any infection that may cause delirium or meningitis, encephalitis, brain abscess or brain hemorrhage.
