About The Memory Clinic
Becoming forgetful does not necessarily mean that a person has dementia. As part of the ageing process, some people may notice some mild slowing in their memory and thinking. This is normal. If, however, the changes become progressively more obvious and begin to impact your everyday life, you should consider going for an assessment of your memory and thinking.
Symptoms Of Memory Loss And Changes In Thinking

- Repeated questions or conversations
