Dementia: Clear Signs To Look Out For

Trouble With Short Term Memory

If one begins to experience trouble with short-term memory, this may be a sign of dementia. These changes are often gradual and subtle but tend to affect short-term memory. A person with dementia might be able to remember something that happened during childhood but may not remember what they ate for breakfast that morning or if they took any medication. Other examples might include forgetting where something was left, why a room was entered, or what they are supposed to be doing later in the day.
