Abstract

Mild Neuro Cognitive Disorder (MNCD) is characterized by the emergence of cognitive deficits that exceed what is typically anticipated based on an individual's age and educational background, yet are not severe enough to disrupt their daily functioning. This condition is frequently regarded as a transitional phase between normal aging and dementia, marked by a decline in essential capacities such as vital capacity, energy levels, sexual function, speech, perception, absorption, retention, memory, and cognitive skills. The effects of aging, along with vataprakopa and Swabhavika SmritiHrasa, which are associated with the normal aging process, are referred to as benign senescent associated memory impairment. Conversely, Aswabhavika SmritiHrasa is treatable, albeit with challenges, and is managed according to the Dosha and the disease's stage, primarily utilizing Rasayana therapeutic approaches.
