When is Forgetfulness a Sign of Disease? Alzheimer's v. Normal Aging | Brain Talks | Being Patient

We've all forgotten the keys or taken a wrong turn when driving-but when is this a sign that we need to worry about our brain health? Our talk this week is with Dr. Bill Burke, M.D. on what you need to ask your doctor if you think you or a loved one has signs of cognitive decline. He'll share what he's learned from over 25 years as a specialist in geriatric psychiatry and his job as the Director of the Stead Family Memory Center at the Banner Alzheimer's Institute.
Our mission is to give people impacted by dementia a better resource and connection to experts at the forefront of research. Our founder Deborah Kan funded Being Patient solely with her own savings to understand if people would value such a resource. Our audience has grown so rapidly, we have exciting plans for the future to enhance our coverage even further but we need your help. Please consider making a contribution to help fund Being Patient's editorial costs. We employ a team of journalists to give you the best possible information on dementia and brain health without bias.
