The Memory Clinic

Sound Familiar?

  • Jean, 78, can’t remember where she put her glasses.
  • Harold, 63, can’t recall the names of people he has met.
  • Diane, 50, has trouble remembering appointments.
Chances are you, or someone you know, has experienced situations similar to these. Do these indicate a memory disorder or Alzheimer’s disease? No, not likely.

You can improve your memory!
Growing older and feeling more forgetful, by themselves, are not symptoms of disease. Instead, people who experience forgetfulness tend to:
  • Be very active and busy.
  • Have many things on their mind.
  • Do not use strategies to remember new information.
