We’ve all forgotten a name, where we put our keys, or if we locked the front door. It’s normal to forget things once in a while. However, forgetting how to make change, use the telephone, or find your way home may be signs of a more serious memory problem.

We have written this booklet to help you know:

1. The difference between mild forgetfulness and more serious memory problems.

2. The medical causes of memory problems and how they can be treated.

3. How to cope with serious memory problems.
