Memory Lapses: Normal or More? – Mayo Clinic Health System

Описание: #MemoryLoss #Dementia #MayoClinicHealthSystem

Ever walked into a room and forgotten why? Or lost the name of an acquaintance?

Memory lapses and a modest decline in thinking skills are common as we age.

Misplacing reading glasses or occasionally having difficulty finding the right word are considered normal memory changes.

These lapses don’t interfere with daily life and are not signs of dementia.

Symptoms of mild cognitive impairment could include short-term memory problems, repeating conversations, and an increased dependence on lists.

However, people with mild cognitive impairment can manage their daily lives.

Dementia is a group of symptoms that affects memory, thinking and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily life.

Early signs can include asking the same questions repeatedly, forgetting common words and taking longer to complete familiar tasks.

If you’re concerned about memory loss, schedule an appointment with a memory care expert.

The Neurology Department team at Mayo Clinic Health System can help; schedule an appointment today.
