Mild cognitive impairment (MDI) is a form of decline in intellectual performance and ability to store and organize activities intermediate between the physiological decline in mental performance and responsiveness associated with aging and Alzheimer’s disease, which is characterized by serious cognitive and behavioral impairment.
In itself, mild cognitive decline does not significantly impair the autonomy of the affected person, but when the first symptoms are perceived, it is important to undergo a specialized neurological evaluation to establish the actual nature of the disorder and intervene early with countermeasures aimed at minimizing its progression.
