Dementia, or memory loss, is a concern to all of us. We all want to maintain the health of our brains, yet often encounter some degree of confusion and/or denial when we think about how to do that.

A patient I'll call Bea has been an elegant and regular visitor to my practice for the last 15 years.

She is aware she is not as sharp as she used to be, but doesn't recognize the problem with outright memory lapses.
