Cognitive Dysfunction

Meaning

Cognitive Dysfunction is a clinical state characterized by a demonstrable impairment in one or more domains of brain function, including memory recall, sustained attention, language processing, or executive decision-making, signifying a decline from the individual’s established baseline. In the specialized arena of hormonal health, this condition often manifests as subjective “brain fog” and is strongly associated with underlying endocrine dysregulation, such as insufficient thyroid hormone, chronic cortisol imbalance, or sex steroid deficiency, all of which compromise optimal neural signaling.
