Common early signs include memory loss, difficulty with tasks, language problems, and mood/behavior changes. Distinguishing dementia from normal aging and depression is important. Causes include Alzheimer's, vascular issues, and other treatable/reversible conditions. A thorough evaluation incorporates history, exams, labs, and imaging.
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) affects 1-3% of the world's population. There is evidence of a genetic vulnerability to OCD, with increased rates of mental illness in relatives of those diagnosed and higher concordance rates in identical twins compared to fraternal twins.
