It is normal to experience a little forgetfulness. In fact, you may be able to think of those times when you have misplaced a set of car keys or forgotten a doctor’s appointment. Fortunately, this type of sporadic memory loss is usually nothing to be concerned about. Even young people can experience it!
But when does normal, everyday forgetfulness become a real problem? When does it signal a deeper condition like Alzheimer’s disease or dementia? How do you know when to contact your doctor or when to seek the services of a nurse or an in home caregiver?
You may be asking yourself these very questions if you have noticed worrisome symptoms like increasing memory loss.
