Mild Cognitive Impairment and Psychopathology

Sponsor: IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino Pulejo

Summary

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a condition characterized by cognitive deterioration greater than what is expected from normal aging, representing an important risk factor for the development of dementia. Early assessment of cognitive functions is therefore essential for promptly identifying any signs of decline. In addition to cognitive aspects, it is equally important to consider the possible psychopathological profile of patients, as such disorders can significantly influence the progression of the disease, quality of life, and the ability to manage daily activities. This protocol aims to explore the presence of psychopathological disorders in patients with MCI, with particular attention to their impact on awareness of cognitive deficits (anosognosia) and on the subjective perception of difficulties in daily life, especially in social and work contexts. The study seeks to outline a comprehensive picture of the psychopathological profile in patients with MCI, facilitating the identification of targeted and personalized interventions capable of improving clinical management and the overall well-being of the individual.
