Okay, okay, okay. Have you guys seen this little beauty? The Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE). It’s like a cheat sheet for your brain! And trust me, you’re gonna want to keep this one handy.
First things first, let’s talk about what the heck a mini-mental state exam even is
Basically, it’s a quick way to test your brain function. You know, make sure all the little gears and cogs are turning properly up there. It’s especially useful for detecting early signs of dementia and other cognitive issues.
How it works
So there are 11 questions on this little guy, and they cover a variety of cognitive functions like memory, attention, and language. The whole thing takes like, 10 minutes max to complete. Piece of cake, right?
Why you need it
Listen, we all think we’re invincible. And maybe some of you are. But for the rest of us mere mortals, keeping an eye on our brain health is important. Catching any issues early on gives you a better chance of managing them and maintaining your quality of life.
How to use it
Step one: print this bad boy out. Step two: grab a pen. Step three: take the exam. Step four: celebrate your newfound brain health awareness with a round of shots. (Okay maybe don’t do that last part.)
Final thoughts
The Mini-mental State Examination might just be one little page, but it has the power to do big things. So do yourself a favor and give it a go. Your brain will thank you for it.
And on that note, I bid you adieu. Until next time, keep it weird.
