Saanvi Joshi, a 58-year-old accountant, had always prided herself on her sharp memory. Recently, she began forgetting client details mid-meeting, missing bill payments, and struggling to follow complex spreadsheets. Her husband noticed she'd ask the same question multiple times. Worried it was early dementia like her father had, she saw her internist, Dr. Chen. After ruling out thyroid issues and B12 deficiency, Dr. Chen recommended a detailed neurocognitive assessment for her forgetfulness. The 90-minute evaluation in a quiet office felt challenging but thorough. The results showed mild cognitive impairment, likely due to chronic stress and sleep apnea, not Alzheimer's. With treatment for apnea, stress management, and cognitive exercises, Saanvi's focus improved significantly. The emotional relief was profound; she moved from a state of terror about losing her mind to empowered management of a treatable condition.
