I'm a 42-year-old male with an enigmatic autoimmune-like illness and have noticed a slight decline in my memory over the past nine years, particularly in the last six weeks. I'm a high-stress bartender and author, and my job demands a lot of memory. I'm worried about dementia and have a clinical case of hypochondriasis.

How likely is it that I have dementia or MCI, and how can I rule it out or manage it?
