I am sorry to inform you, but there isn’t a test that can tell you if she has it or not. But, you can take her to the doctor, and by the series of tests, you can know for sure. In most cases physicians begin with a memory and performance test like the MMSE (MiniMental State Examination).There is a word about some tests, but they are all untested, and not reliable. So as I said, take her to the doctor.
