Young adults experiencing cognitive complaints often have normal neurocognitive evaluations but frequently exhibit neuropsychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety. Early detection of these symptoms is crucial for timely intervention in early-onset dementia cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuropsychology
  • Psychiatry

Context:

  • Early-onset dementia (EOD) presents significant health and quality-of-life challenges.
  • Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) can mimic or contribute to cognitive decline.
  • Understanding cognitive performance and NPS in young adults with cognitive complaints is essential.

Purpose:

  • To describe neurocognitive evaluation (NCE) performance in young patients presenting with cognitive complaints.
  • To assess the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and other NPS in this cohort.
  • To explore the relationship between NCE results and NPS.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 214 NCE reports of patients aged ≤64 with cognitive complaints.
  • Over half (54.21%) had normal NCE findings; the rest showed varying degrees of cognitive impairment.

  • While depression and anxiety levels did not differ significantly between normal and impaired groups, 84% reported NPS, primarily depression and anxiety.

    • Impact:

    • Normal cognitive function was observed in over 50% of young patients with cognitive complaints.
    • A high frequency of NPS was detected, underscoring their importance in this population.
    • Comprehensive NCE and NPS screening are vital for early intervention in young individuals with cognitive concerns.
