Suggest Treatment For Partial Memory Loss In An Elderly Person
My wife watches a TV show, and when a new one starts, she still thinks she is watching the previous show. She has a very hard time remembering words and completing sentences. She also forgets what she is talking about and just stops talking. This has slowly been getting worse. We saw a neurologist and a scan revealed a hardening of an artery in the brain. What do you think? What can we do to help her? She is 62. Thank you!

Consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
Drugs like donepezil will be useful.
