If you're worried about your own or somebody else’s memory
Most people forget things from time to time, and this is often a normal part of ageing.
However, if memory problems keep happening or start to affect your day-to-day life, it’s important to speak to your GP.
It's often nothing serious but you should get it checked. Many of the causes of memory problems can get better with the right support and treatment.
The Alzheimer's Society website has helpful information about:
- physical and mental health conditions that can cause memory loss
- how the normal age-related changes differ from dementia
- how to talk to somebody about concerns with their memory
