Here's what could be a sign of future cognitive decline

Feeling lost in life or feeling like you’ve done it all may harm your brain, according to a study. Researchers found that people who developed mild cognitive impairment had lower levels of purpose and personal growth compared to those who remained cognitively intact. Mild cognitive impairment is often a precursor to dementia. The study suggests that poor psychological well-being could be a predictor for future cognitive impairment. It also highlights the importance of wellness as a way to stave off dementia. Maintaining wellness, seeking purpose, and continuing personal growth are especially important in older age.
