玛莉‧冈古力(Mary Ganguli)博士是匹兹堡大学(University of Pittsburgh)的精神病学、神经病学和流行病学教授,她表示人们常在就诊时表示,自己或某位家人不再从事他们向来喜爱的某项活动了,像是烘焙某种感恩节点心,或是春天的时候对除草机修修弄弄。
Even the patient may not know why, she said. They may be uninterested in the activity because “they couldn’t figure out how to do it anymore.”
她表示,就连病人自己可能都不明白原因何在。他们可能因为“不再知道该怎么做”而对某件事失去兴趣。
Usually, when Dr. Ganguli asks if the patient is having trouble remembering things, “They will say, ‘Yes, but it’s not the biggest problem,’” she said. “But if I assess them, I find memory problems.”
通常当冈古力询问病人是不是记不住事情的时候,“他们会说:‘是啊,可是没啥大不了的。’”她说,“不过要是我做检测,就会发现他们的记忆有问题。”
Some experts supporting the new diagnosis said that unlike most cognitive problems, some mood and behavior symptoms could be treated with therapy and medication. “We can make them sleep better, we can take the edge off depression, we can help the family learn how to manage the problems,” Dr. Ganguli said.
支持前述新诊断类别的一些专家表示,有些情绪与行为症状能通过治疗手段或药物改善,这与大多数的认知障碍不同。“我们可以让当事人睡得更好、减轻他们的沮丧程度、帮助家属学习处理各种问题,”冈古力医师表示。
