How is it checked if someone has dementia?

Patient's question:

A friend of mine is always not mentally normal, sometimes clear-minded and sometimes crazy. How can you check if someone has dementia?

Doctor's answer:

The speculation about a child being born with congenital intellectual disability can be carefully observed from the patient's symptoms and behavior. It can also be inferred through detailed examinations such as electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Additionally, visiting a pediatric health center for health check-ups can help determine if there is hypoxic cerebral palsy. Once confirmed, appropriate rehabilitation treatment should be initiated, which may require visiting a specialized rehabilitation hospital for diagnosis. Early detection and early intervention are crucial.
