Memory Loss Symptoms and Causes


Memory loss symptoms are generally noticeable to someone very close to and familiar with the affected person, but may largely go unnoticed by most others.

The general and accepted memory loss symptoms would include the inability to recall events in either the short term or long term, a memory loss that progressively worsens over time, irritation, confusion and even difficulty comprehending and completing tasksThe symptoms are determined by the kind of memory loss, which depends on the cause.

Memory loss is a normal and accepted feature of the aging process. In normal circumstances however this kind of memory loss will not prevent you functioning normally and living a productive life.
