ICD-Code F06.7: Mild cognitive disorder

Your mental capabilities are impaired because of a physical illness.

To take in and use new knowledge, we need mental abilities. These include the abilities to speak, to concentrate, and to memorize things. A mild impairment of mental capabilities does not normally cause significant limitations in daily life.
