Memory loss is not caused only by Alzheimer’s it may be caused by other forms of dementia. Of course, memory loss is – to a certain extent- also part and parcel of the aging process.Tests can be performed by your doctor to rule out other forms of dementia that may cause memory loss and help determine Alzheimer’s. There is no cure for Alzheimer’s but some treatments are available that can help with the symptoms.
