A 76-year-old white woman is brought to the physician by her children because she is becoming more forgetful. She used to pay her bills independently and enjoyed cooking but has recently received overdue notices from utility companies and found it difficult to prepare a balanced meal. She has lost 3.5 kg in the past 3 months, and left the water running in her bathtub and flooded the bathroom. When her children express their concerns, she becomes irritable and resists their help. Her house has become more cluttered and unkempt. On a past visit to her physician, she had normal laboratory tests for metabolic, hematologic, and thyroid function. The current evaluation reveals no depressive symptoms and 2/15 on the Geriatric Depression Scale short-form. Her Mini-Mental State Examination score is 20/30.

Polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS) has been renamed ‘polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS)’. The new terminology moves away from the previous emphasis on ovarian cysts and reflects the endocrine, metabolic, and reproductive manifestations of the condition, such as menstrual irregularities, infertility, metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and mental health comorbidities.

The diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ) is clinical and based on the collection of relevant information through screening questionnaires/rating scales and clinical history

When specific attentional impairment is identified in an adult, the history of such impairment in childhood is essential to the diagnosis. The patient's own report is not usually sufficient; a living parent or sibling should be identified to provide a history. Written documentation from school reports may also help.
