[|Human|] A 5 day EEG was done showing abnormal slow generalized delta-theta waves for 10% of recording and background of 10Hz. It only changed with sleep. I struggle with working memory, decision making and the speed at which I solve problems. Does this mean there is cognitive dysfunction or brain damage? Should I see neuropsychologist or occupational therapist? Does it get worse?
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I carefully read your EEG report and would explain that these findings could be related to dementia. Anyway, I recommend consulting with a neuropsychologist and performing further cognitive tests to determine properly your cognitive functions. A brain MRI may be needed, coupled with some blood lab tests (complete blood count for anemia, thyroid hormone levels for possible dysfunction, vitamin B12 plasma levels). Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
