"Cognitive impairment is a broad term used to describe some degree of difficulty with cognitive functioning. Impairment can range in intensity and may involve problems with memory, concentration, language, perceptual-motor skills, decision making, and learning. This type of cognitive impairment is distinct from dementia, in that it is not as severe. People experiencing cognitive impairment may find it helpful to both seek medical attention and the services of a mental health professional, who can often help them address the challenges and frustrations they may experience as a result of diminished cognitive function.
