    Primary care and geriatric doctors can routinely track changes in the cognitive abilities most likely to be occurring when the Alzheimer's disease process is actually beginning. These tests even have a built-in 10 question depresion scale to alert docs to the posibility that depression is behind the cognitive decline. The tests flag the need for more extensive (and much more expensive) evaluations.
