We all have, at one time or another, some memory lapse or forgetfulness, which can bring with it some questions, such as: is it bad memory, or dementia? When should I be concerned? How to differentiate one thing from the other?
These doubts increase over time, as dementia is a health disorder that appears in later stages of life, especially in old age.
Therefore, below we will understand what dementia is and how to differentiate it from a simple bad memory, in addition to knowing some tips that can help prevent common age-related forgetfulness.

Cognitive problems, which include difficulties in reasoning, planning and organizing
Memory loss
Decreased motor coordination
Mental confusion and disorientation
