Doctors typically use the word ‘dementia’ to describe common symptoms – such as memory loss, confusion, and problems with speech and understanding – that get worse over time. Each type of dementia stops a person’s brain cells (neurones) working properly in specific areas, affecting their ability to remember, think and speak.
If you are concerned about your own memory it is important to consult a GP as soon as possible. This will make sure that you are given appropriate advice.
