Memory Loss – What You Need to Know
Virtual Presentation February 2nd at 6 p.m.
Are you feeling more forgetful? As we age, there are some changes with our memory and cognition. But, what is “normal” and when should you be concerned? Are you concerned about a family member’s memory, their changing personality, erratic financial decisions, problems with language or issues with problem solving?
Shannon Nosbisch of Effingham Area Alzheimer’s Awareness will discuss the difference between normal aging, confusion caused by treatable medical conditions and memory loss/cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia. She will also discuss how to seek a diagnosis, what to expect at your visit and why it is important to get a diagnosis as soon as possible. Shannon will talk about what researchers and doctors say is the best way to reduce your chances of developing Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia.
