My mum passed this test easily and was dismissed by her gp, despite it being clear to us she had memory problems. It was only when other medical professionals picked up on it and had her referred that she was diagnosed with vascular dementia having had several silent strokes. This 'test' is not fit for purpose.

*Forget the test. Im trying to figure out whats the point of wearing a tie when you can only see 1/4" of it.*

Raise your hand if you make it a habit to remember the months backwards.

Precio ?

hope this can be used by everyone.. early detection is the only prevention.

This guy gets a hard-on from taking away people’s keys. Also the same asshole at an accident telling people there is nothing to see here.

OMG. LIKE WATCHING PAINT DRY!! GAVE UP WATCHING

Thanks Byteback Creative for doing a great job on this video.

Sorry but I have to ask if the test giver in the green suit was heavily medicated as he could barely keep his eyes open and his speech is a little slurred. I would question his ability to test anyone.

Very good place for most people and good information

How much is half double.?

Do I fail the test if I fall asleep while these nice gentlemen are speaking?

My brother took my mum the other day. When the Dr said what was the name and address. She said you didnt give me one 😮 I took her today for a blood test. Unfortunately the Dr didn't tell the nurse what it was for and the Dr was off. The nurse took blood anyway. Can someone please tell me what they are looking for in the blood. She also gave a urine test , again what could that show please.

really helpful

My mom had this test at her primary care doctor’s office for years and always passed with flying colors. It was clear to all us family that she was suffering from some sort of dementia but when she passed this test all the time her doctor wouldn’t take further action. It was only after her endocrinologist noticed some memory issues in conversation he requested a MRI brain scan and finally was diagnosed with FTD behavior type dementia and you could clearly see parts of her brain were just gone. I was told people suffering from FTD generally do quite well on these types of tests for quite some time before they start getting worse.

The comment section😂

I can't do the month thing ...

I couldn’t remember the full address have I got a problem then?

My mom won't bath now it has been a few years ,she refuse to get drops in her eyes because she blames sight loose on drops witch is keeping eyes healthy . Her memory is not to bad, what do you guys think ?

Is there anything I can do to go get vaccinated to go to America I have had no jabs

Hi there, THANK YOU so much for posting this! I was with Mum during this test recently..... she didn't do so well....ish. This video helps me understand how the Doctor understood what is going on. It helps me, hopefully to help her.

I could not ever recite things backwards...the alphabet, the months etc so why should I remember how to do it when I get old???

Flat affect nice

Hahahaha what a lively group

Your presentation sucks

Biden a perfect candidate

How does a score of C fit into the score? I think it said 8 or worse is bad, but C isn't a number you can add in.

What if you give the year wrong but you're only a year off and it's January or December? That seems more like plain old absentmindedness in that case.

The difference between a smart or dumb person can get a misdiagnosis. Not good this process.

do you give the patients any feedback, after they answered the questions? like "well done" to reassure them, even if they made mistakes or would that make it even worse later when they get their diagnosis and they somehow remember, that you, the doctor, told them, they did well, but now you're saying they have dementia or some other kind cognitive problems?

Wait a minute I could never count the months backwards!!!!

The actress wasn't a good actress so I couldn't take her seriously

My mom was 93 and in a nursing home, they asked her in a assessment who is the premier of Alberta who is the mayor of calgary what day of the week is it what did you have for supper on Tuesday She never watched news she said it was depressing didn’t follow politics said it was even more depressing she also said everyday was the same routine so she lost track of days because it made no difference

I didn't remember the John Smith one, because I thought it was just remembering the address to say it back to the guy immediately after, not remembering it for the end of the test

I took this test when my mother had to sign up for long term insurance , she was 30 years older then me and I did only as well as she did 😝

Who the hell would take one these stupid tests? If you have dementia there's no cure and it's only going to get worse not better.

My mom 89. Dying right now of dementia. I put zero credence in these tests. She took it 4 months ago. She passed every one even the clock drawing. It was perfect. But here we are. Stage 7

I'm 28 and the months of the year backwards, are you taking the piss! lol

you passed the memory test, Im pleased to say, but your acting leaves a lot to be desired

0:53 Anybody else want to correct him and tell him he got his name wrong? lol

What a terrible actress is this?

I could use this thing to help me fall asleep.....YAWN!! 😜

hi! i dont know if you have any control over the ads? but on all of the mental health videos they’re talking about school sho*tings?

Bad bad simulation! Lol

I'm gonna be honest. I'm 25, and by the end of the test, I'd COMPLETELY forgotten that address. Not a clue anymore.

Do you know where the studies are on the efficacy of the 3 word recall test? There are 3 little articles I've found, but not any decent studies to justify giving that test to the elderly. I know it's a standard test and I'm betting someone came up with it decades ago, and it has just been passed on down without any clear research. I'm writing a graphic memoir of how I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and I've been flummoxed on the actual studies for the 3 word recall test and the cube drawing test. How many people can go grocery shopping with 3 items in mind, and actually remember all three? My college freshmen cannot remember the 3 questions I ask them when they go around the room. Let me know if you can point me in the right direction. Thanks

I'm 15, the John Smith, 42, highstreet, Bedford thing was a bit tricky. I had to memorise that 4 or 5 times in order for me to actually bloody remember it. I also paused a bit when I was counting 20 backwards😂 That shit for no reason made me paranoid af lol
