If someone you know is becoming increasingly forgetful, you should encourage them to see their GP to talk about the early signs of dementia. Dementia is a group of related symptoms that indicate problems with the brain. One of the most common symptoms of dementia is memory loss. There are other reasons someone might be experiencing memory loss. However, if dementia is detected early, in some cases its progress can be slowed, and the person affected may maintain their mental function.

I wouldn't attempt to assume things like this, as you could make yourself think she does when she doesn't. If you're really concerned, I'd suggest getting her to talk to a doctor!

I would recommend seeing a doctor. Dementia is an issue with the brain. Of course forgetfulness and mixing up details can happen to anyone and can happen without dementia but there are other signs that a doctor can help to see in the very beginning of the change in the brain. Catching it early can give the opportunity of working on options for helping the brain to stop the process or slow it down.
