Is it normal aging or could it be a sign of dementia? 

As the years go by, you might notice changes in yourself or a loved one. Maybe things like misplacing keys or a phone, struggling to find the right word or remembering why you walked into a room seem to keep happening. And you’re wondering: Are these issues just part of normal aging? Or could they be signs of something more serious?

It’s important to know the difference between what’s normal and what could be a sign of dementia. In either case, you can take steps to minimize the impact on your quality of life.
