Memory symptoms:
Symptoms related to memory ability such as forgetfulness.
Introduction:
Loss of memory is a common symptom,
particular in the elderly.
Memory loss may also be associated with concentration symptoms.
Many people fear a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease
but many other possibilities exist,
including simply the normal deterioration of
memory function with aging.
Other possibilities include the side effects
of various medications
and other medical conditions such as depression,
anxiety,
alcohol abuse, drug abuse, certain brain conditions (e.g. stroke
or brain tumors)
and various types of dementia.
Any memory-related symptoms need prompt professional
medical advice to determine the correct diagnosis.
