Symptom #8: Memory Loss
Memory loss is one of the most typical of all symptoms of dementia. It is also one of the most devastating. Family members can literally experience having parents and grandparents forget who they are. The can forget who their own children are, their own spouse, and this can be extremely heartbreaking for all involved.
Memory loss is also common in Lewy body dementia. Thankfully, though, it tends not to be as severe as in other types of dementia. Regardless, it can still be extremely difficult for patients and families to cope with. Some patients will find that much of their long-term memory will remain intact, if not all of it, but they will struggle to remember things in the short term.
