Diagnosing Memory Loss

Getting A Diagnosis -

Memory Screens

Memory screening is one way a person can determine whether memory loss is more than just simply "normal" aging. Memory problems that interfere with your ability to carry out tasks at work or at home can signal illnesses or conditions that should be identified and treated.

You should be screened for memory problems if your memory loss:

* Interferes with daily activities
* Causes you to avoid specific tasks, hobbies, or social events
* Is noticed by those close to you
* Seems to be getting worse

 

If screening results indicate a need for further testing, you will be advised to see your doctor who will do a complete medical evaluation.
