John Leenay

John Leenay understands that memory decline is not an inevitable part of aging. He highlights early warning signs of Alzheimer's disease, the most severe form of dementia, which can include repeatedly asking the same questions, denying memory issues, feeling upset when these problems are pointed out, leaving stoves on, getting lost in familiar places, or experiencing heightened emotional responses. Importantly, John emphasizes that the neurological damage that leads to these symptoms may have been developing for two decades, yet many individuals remain unaware of this fact. The sooner one recognizes the potential for memory-related concerns, the quicker proactive measures can be taken to mitigate the risks associated with Alzheimer's. He advocates for neuropsychological testing, which he recommends for anyone aged 45 and over as an effective means to assess cognitive function against normative data corresponding to age and education metrics. This objective testing process not only determines the presence of dementia but also identifies the likelihood of developing it in the future. John provides detailed treatment recommendations in a comprehensive written report to help individuals take charge of their cognitive health. Passionate about the significance of brain health, he encourages everyone to prioritize their mental well-being, as the brain is central to one’s identity and uniqueness.
