Default Help for memory

I’m a nurse and my specialty is memory loss. I recommend that the closest relative talk to the individual about their concerns. He may be more aware than you think but just scared. If that doesn’t work, call his primary care office and ask them to do an evaluation at his next appointment. When a person has memory loss, it can be due to a wide variety of factors. Some are reversable (medication side effects, abnormal findings in blood samples, depression) and some are not (Alzheimer’s, other types of dementia). A skilled provider needs to do the assessment starting with primary care.
