As yet, there’s no single test that can diagnose dementia outright. But some tools, like the clock test and verbal memory quizzes such as the Rey’s Auditory Learning Test, can give doctors a clearer idea of someone’s cognitive state.
And according to neurologist Dr Adnan Husein, another example of this is the “Luria” or “fist-edge-palm” test.
This, he shared in an Instagram Reel, is the “quickest test for dementia” – though again, the condition can’t be diagnosed through a single exercise like this.
You’ll need to see a medical professional to determine whether or not you or someone else has dementia.
