Memory Loss Treatment in Marietta, GA

Occasionally forgetting things is just a normal fact of life. It's even somewhat expected that we'll lose portions of our memory as we age . Aside from these natural phenomena, a significant loss of memory could be a serious condition that should not be ignored.

Signs of Memory Loss

Whether you've been forgetting things that happened in the near or distant past, there are several habits that you should be aware of if your memory lapses are becoming more frequent:

  • Asking people to repeat the same question to you over and over
  • Mixing up or completely forgetting basic words as you speak
  • Constantly misplacing items
  • Getting lost often
  • Having trouble learning new things
  • Experiencing dramatic changes in your mood

Causes of Memory Loss

In some cases, the cause of your memory loss could be a single factor, and once it's identified, the problem might completely go away. Often times, memory lapses are a result of hormone imbalance, especially in the thyroid and adrenal glands. Imbalanced hormones can cause or lead to memory loss in a number of ways, including hypothyroidism.

Some of the other causes of memory loss include:

Memory Loss Diagnosis

During a consultation your doctor may cover topics such as how long you've been experiencing your memory loss, and how soon your forgetfulness became apparent.

With the information you provide, an experienced memory loss doctor will likely proceed with a physical and neurological exam to identify any health factors that may be impairing your memory. These exams are usually accompanied by a blood or urine screening to test for conditions such as a vitamin deficiency or thyroid disease. In some cases, your doctor may also order an imaging test such as a CT scan or MRI to get a closer look at your brain and nerve tissues.

Memory Loss Treatment

Medication can sometimes be effective in managing memory loss, but some doctors prefer to address the issue from more than one perspective. That's why some doctors recommend lifestyle changes that could improve your memory function while helping you cope with the loss that has already occurred. Your doctor might combine counseling for your emotional health with nutritional supplements that improve your physical well-being.  Some doctors can even teach you exercises for improving your focus and assist in developing routines and habits that help you maintain your quality of life.
