Many of the care techniques included are also appropriate for working with those who have dementia symptoms.

Seek Professional medical advice to determine if it is ALZHEIMER’S
How do you know it is not depression or something else? Have a doctor help decide. Anytime you or someone close to you experiences more than occasional forgetfulness like misplacing something or not remembering the name of someone in a conversation it is important to pay attention to what is happening, how often it is happening and when it happens. As pointed out in the content of this site, there are many things besides aging that can cause dementia, (a mild to severe form of memory loss).
