For a lot of people, the first thing that comes to mind in connection with memory loss is Alzheimer’s disease. However, in most cases the reasons are less serious, e.g. tiredness, stress or the normal aging process.

Of course, memory loss is one of the symptoms of dementia. But just because patients or customers are having problems remembering where they put their keys doesn’t mean that they are suffering from the disease!

Other causes are alcohol and drug abuse, anxiety, bereavement and the normal aging process.
