How To Treat Memory Loss In An Elderly Person?

My 80 yr old sister is having short term memory loss, is saying that there are people coming into her apt and moving things, straightening things up and some live in her attic.. She stills performs her daily tasks, but has gotten so forgetful! What is wrong?

Hello,

I think there is a possibility of her developing neurodegenerative disease. Doing an MRI can show up the brain conditions and lesions she probably has.

Taking vitamin B 12 AND better B complex can be somewhat helpful. The treatment depends on the results of neurological evaluation and MRI.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
