MCI Diagnosis
My DH has been diagnosed with MCI after a fairly brief evaluation from a neurologist (with review of his MRI and bloowork). It appears that this is an umbrella term that could mean any number of things, so I'm confused about his actual diagnosis. I'm contemplating getting a more detailed neuropsych evaluation but hear that it's quite grueling and I'm afraid that my DH will refuse to go and/or refuse further treatment if too overwhelmed. Does anyone have thoughts about what MCI diagnosis means, and experience with psych evaluation?
I am concerned that he is actually further along than what we were presented, given his declining cognitive ability at home, combined with his exceptional coping skills when we are in front of doctors & nurses,
