Talking to Your Doctor About Memory Loss

As you age, your brain changes. Some parts shrink. Brain cells don't communicate as well as they once did. You may have some mild forgetfulness, and trouble learning new things. This is normal.

So if you worry about your memory, or if loved ones are worried, you need to tell your doctor. Here's how to make the most of your doctor's appointment.
