Doctors Diagnose FCD

Dementia is frequently misdiagnosed, with many patients actually facing functional cognitive disorder (FCD), a treatable condition that mimics dementia without causing brain damage. As awareness of FCD grows, improved diagnoses and treatments emerge. Furthermore, eye health plays a crucial role, as retinal issues may indicate an early risk for dementia, highlighting the interconnectedness of vision and cognition.
