MMSE
The Mini-Mental State Exam
In my Mother's case,when we first realized she probably had a serious problem going on, this was the very first in-office exam she had with her doctor. My sister and I were in the room with her (we were asked to be quiet and just observe).. and we were very surprised at how poorly she did. The same test was repeated at a later time to see how she was progressing. I'm sure there are many similar tests used for screening, but I thought this was interesting.
