Dementia Sign #1: Short-term Memory Loss
Memory loss is one of the most commonly described symptoms of dementia. These changes usually start off quite small and may be observed as people leaving their keys in certain places or putting things in strange places. This is normal and is not necessarily indicative of dementia.
If your short-term memory loss becomes more serious, it might be time to consider medical treatment. Forgetting things multiple times every day might be indicative of a more serious problem. If memory loss is becoming a detriment to your daily life, then you should talk to your doctor.
