EBS on the 7th ‌(Sat) at 9:55 p.m.In ⁢’Blinking forgetfulness, maybe ​I have dementia too?’ The episode is broadcast.

When⁣ I frequently ‍enough lose things or forget appointments,I think,’Uh… I wonder if‌ I’m​ going to get dementia if I keep going like this.’ I do worry.Does severe forgetfulness cause dementia? What kind of forgetfulness leads to dementia? Accurate information about dementia and forgetfulness, ‘Forgetfulness, forgetfulness, do I have dementia‌ too?’ Revealed in the episode!

△ Is it forgetfulness⁢ or dementia?
Or pre-dementia mild cognitive impairment?

Geumsim, who could not remember the front door password she had used in recent years until the next morning, and‌ Hee-sook, who remembers things from 20 years ago without hesitation, but forgets what she just said ‍or did. It​ is said that the symptoms of the two precious bodies are common enough that anyone with severe forgetfulness can sympathize ⁣with them, but there is a clear difference.
Unlike simple forgetfulness, which is recognized immediately ‌when given a hint, if a person cannot remember even ‍when given a hint,‌ it may be dementia or mild cognitive⁤ impairment, which‌ is a pre-dementia stage. Although memory impairment due to amnesia ‍occurs temporarily, mild cognitive impairment appears continuously almost every day. In patients with mild⁤ cognitive impairment, the rate of progression of Alzheimer’s disease is about 10 to 15 times faster than in the normal group. Mild cognitive ‌impairment is a dangerous period, but it ‌is ​also a period when treatment effects are most effective! Therefore, early screening and early treatment are​ urgent priorities.

‘I’m forgetful and forgetful. Do I also have⁢ dementia?’ Professor Yang Dong-won, a domestic expert on dementia who was on the show, developed the Korean Dementia Screening Test (KDSQ-C) in 2002. If the total⁣ score ⁣is 6 or less on this test, which is essential for assessing cognitive‍ function, cognitive decline‍ should be suspected.The expert’s opinion is that it is more accurate for a guardian⁣ who is familiar with the⁢ subject’s condition to do so. ‌

If a cognitive function test was performed due to memory decline and the results came back normal, it⁤ is said to be subjective cognitive decline. If subjective cognitive decline is left untreated, memory may gradually decline and progress ⁤to mild cognitive ⁤impairment or dementia. Is it really possible to⁤ improve brain‌ function? What⁤ are some ways to improve brain ⁢function?
Professor Yang specifically To this end, ​we ⁣developed a workbook called ‘Study Every Day’ to improve cognitive function. A question frequently⁢ asked not only​ by patients ‍with precious body cases but also by patients who visit the clinic on a daily basis is how to study. ‘Nalgong’ consists of problems that can improve overall brain ⁤functions such as concentration, ‌memory, and calculation ability. If you‌ don’t use your brain, you get old.This means ⁤that aging occurs in the brain as well. Professor Yang advises that it is important to continue using your brain to maintain⁢ youthful brain⁤ function for a⁢ long time, even if you are only one year older. ‘Study every day’‌ You‌ can download it from the website.

Cognitive exercise method revealed to kill two birds with one ‍stone

Next to the so-called ‘flying ball’ workbook, what Professor Yang emphasized was exercise. Moving your muscles not only improves blood flow, but also improves ⁤your atrophied brain.⁢ It is indeed appropriate to ‌divide it into 7 ⁤aerobic exercises and 3 strength exercises for 40 to 45 minutes, 4‌ times a week. Aerobic exercises include swimming, indoor cycling, and easy interval​ walking (5 minutes ⁢at a fast pace, 1 to 2 minutes at a slow pace). if you just exercise, only the brain area responsible for movement​ will be activated, but ‍if you exercise while thinking about calculations, finishing sentences, etc., you can expand the brain activation area. This is why​ you need to ⁤think and exercise at the same time.

What are‌ the early signs of dementia that individuals should watch for?

time.news Interview:‍ Understanding Dementia and Forgetfulness

Editor: ​Welcome, Dr. Lee! Thank ​you ‍for joining us today‍ to discuss a‍ topic that weighs heavily on many minds ‌– dementia and‌ forgetfulness. ⁢You recently appeared ‌on EBS’s program,”Blinking Forgetfulness,” which aired on‌ Saturday. Can you start ⁢by telling our audience ‌what inspired the episode and what key insights were shared?

Dr. Lee: Thank you​ for having‍ me! The ⁢episode aimed⁢ to demystify the fears surrounding forgetfulness and its potential link to dementia. Many people experience occasional⁣ forgetfulness and begin to worry excessively that​ they might‍ be developing dementia.​ We wanted to clarify that not all memory lapses indicate a severe condition. The episode ​analyzed ⁢various ⁢types of ⁤forgetfulness and illustrated the differences between normal forgetfulness,mild cognitive ⁤impairment (the early stage‌ of dementia),and full-blown dementia.

Editor: That’s​ really ⁤informative! ⁣Can you elaborate⁢ on how viewers differentiate between ordinary‍ forgetfulness ⁣and signs that⁣ might suggest something more serious, like dementia?

Dr. ⁣Lee: Certainly! The key lies in the⁤ nature of the​ forgetfulness. ⁣Simple forgetfulness ⁣– perhaps misplacing your keys or forgetting a lunch date – usually comes back to you with a cue or reminder. In contrast, individuals with dementia or mild ⁢cognitive impairment may struggle ⁣to recall information even when provided with hints. for example, a person like geumsim from the show was unable to remember her front ​door password, while Hee-sook could ⁤recall events from 20 ⁢years ago but struggled with recent conversations. This ‍contrast illustrates how selective memory can be ​significant.

Editor: That’s a compelling example.I ⁣imagine that many viewers appreciated the nuanced portrayal. In your experience, what are the common⁤ misconceptions ⁣about forgetfulness and dementia?

Dr. Lee: ‌One major misconception is ‍that all forgetfulness leads to dementia ​– this⁤ isn’t true. Many factors can contribute to forgetfulness, including stress, fatigue, ​and even seasonal changes. another misconception is that dementia⁢ primarily affects the elderly, whereas⁢ mild ⁤cognitive impairment can ⁣appear ​earlier. Early detection and management are crucial,⁢ so recognizing subtle signs can lead to better outcomes.

Editor: Very true. With growing⁢ concerns about cognitive health,what steps can individuals ⁣take if ‌they find themselves worrying about ⁤dementia or experiencing frequent forgetfulness?

Dr.Lee: First,⁤ it’s crucial to​ maintain a healthy lifestyle⁢ that ​includes physical activity, mental stimulation, and a balanced diet. Engaging in social ‍activities can also support cognitive health.Secondly, if a ⁢person is concerned⁢ about⁤ their memory or cognitive function,‍ they ⁣should consult a healthcare professional ​for evaluation. Early intervention plays a vital role in ​managing any cognitive issues effectively.

Editor: Sound advice,Dr.‍ Lee.​ what would you like to tell our audience about the importance of open ​dialog regarding dementia and ⁢mental health?

Dr. Lee: Discussing dementia⁣ openly is vital. It⁣ helps ‍normalize conversations around cognitive health and reduces stigma. The more we talk about it,⁢ the more understanding and support individuals⁣ can recieve, leading to early diagnosis and treatment options. Remember, it’s okay to be concerned about your cognitive⁤ health, and seeking help‍ is a sign of strength.

Editor: Thank‍ you, Dr.Lee! This discussion is incredibly valuable,and ‌we appreciate your insights.​ We hope to see ⁤more episodes⁣ like “Blinking Forgetfulness” to further ‍help‍ the public navigate these complex ‌issues.

Dr. Lee: Thank‌ you for having me! It’s essential we continue these conversations.

Editor: ⁤ We look forward to your ⁣future contributions. Untill next time!
