Dr. Jim Galvin at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, developed a simple tool called The AD8 Test. It discerns very early dementia in routine settings. The medical field overwhelmingly agrees that dementia should be detected as early as possible. Notwithstanding, commonly used tests, such as the MMSE, tend to miss dementia until it is well established. In the rush of a doctor's daily practice, very mild cases often go undiagnosed. When a person finally gets a diagnosis of a dementia such as Alzheimer's, the spouse or adult child typically comments that they began noticing changes years earlier.
