Dessert with the Doctor: Normal Aging or Dementia?
Memory loss can be unsettling at best. As we age, our bodies and brains do change - but how do we know when it's just typical forgetting or it's Alzheimer's or another form of dementia? Dr. Lisa Snyder describes the general path of normal aging, the signs and symptoms of medical conditions that may mimic dementia but are treatable, and the hallmarks of Alzheimer Disease and related disorders.
