Some Conditions affecting cognitive function

 

You probably know that certain conditions can have a negative effect on cognitive function. Depression and anxiety, for example, can disturb the way a person thinks. And dementia, the deterioration of a person's thought processes -- a deterioration which may be accompanied by emotional disturbances -- is marked by an often progressive decline in cognitive function. Certain medications can also have a negative effect on cognitive function, especially in the elderly.
