Cognitive Decline

At Clarity Brain and Body Clinic, we understand the profound impact cognitive decline can have on daily life, from memory lapses to difficulties in decision-making and problem-solving. Our functional neurology approach is designed to address the underlying causes of cognitive decline and
help restore cognitive function and quality of life.

What Is Cognitive Decline?

Cognitive decline refers to a gradual decrease in cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention, language, or problem-solving skills. While some cognitive changes are normal with aging, significant or rapid decline may indicate an underlying issue that requires attention.

Causes of cognitive Decline

Neurodegenerative Diseases: Conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are common causes of progressive memory loss and cognitive decline.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Cognitive issues often follow head injuries due to damage to brain areas responsible for processing and storing information.

Chronic Stress and Anxiety: Prolonged stress can disrupt brain function and contribute to cognitive difficulties.

Sleep Disorders: Conditions like insomnia or sleep apnea can impair the brain’s ability to consolidate memories and process information.

Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients can lead to cognitive decline.

Other Conditions: Hormonal imbalances, infections, or exposure to toxins may also contribute to cognitive issues.
