Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Symptoms are usually memory impairment along with language impairment, inability to perform previous tasks, poor judgment etc.
2. Also significant decline from previous functions, specifically social or occupational.
3. Mini mental examination helps in confirmation.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
