Mild cognitive impairment
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a term used to describe a condition involving problems with cognitive function (mental abilities such as thinking, knowing and remembering). People with MCI often have difficulties with day-to-day memory, but such problems are not bad enough to be defined as dementia. People with MCI have an increased risk of developing dementia, but some don't develop dementia and a few will even get better
