Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I would like to know a few additional details regarding your diagnosis. On what basis, were you diagnosed with mild diffuse encephalopathy? Was it based on clinical neurologic examination by a neurologist, or was it based on electroencephalography (EEG) test? Encephalopathy refers to brain dysfunction, such as drowsiness, decreased alertness, disorientation and confusion, etc. If you had these findings, then, one can make a diagnosis of encephalopathy. Please get back with more details. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
