I watched the whole video and wonder how many people managed to reach the end! 1. Although it is clearly necessary to ask relatives and acquaintances for observations, I think these have to be treated very carefully, not necessarily because of deliberate falsifying but because some things do happen to us which may be quite normal. If I have several things going on in my thoughts I may well get upstairs and forget why I went up there. This is not a new phenomenon. 2. I would also think physical fitness, exercise and training are important to our brain health as are hobbies. I know several people who are well into their seventies who are still actively employed, not for the money so much but to keep physically and mentally active. The younger folks are more agile in all areas but experience makes up for being somewhat slower. 3. When I was at school, we were told a story which we had to write up when we got home. I couldn't remember any names in the story and I haven't improved. My brain thrives on new ideas and gets quickly bored with - how small I put it - silly details. So these details seem to get dumped. 60 years later I am still working, inventing, walking, driving and enjoying life. 4. I hope health care workers and doctors consider the danger of substituting good food, good exercise and effective stress management with medication. 5. A good video, thank you.
I’ve been like that since when I was a kid. I remember it was always hard for me to learn in school even though I like school, but I can’t memorize nothing. Now I’m trying to get my CDL license having a hard time to memorize the pre-trip inspection book 😢😔😔😔☹️☹️
What can I do
I wanna have a better life so I can support my family
Excellent ! I appreciate your focus on older people. Would like to see you share more about nutrition and vitamins and supplements like daily multivitamin, omega. 3 , etc. Fruits and vegetables etc. Thank you. I’ll follow. 😊
I am past 80. BUT.....I try to stay as active as possible. mentally and physically. So far so good!
I’m with you @87
THANK YOU SO MUCH❣️I really thought I was losing my mind. I've been taking Benadryl everyday due to allergies at work. I also take Clonazepam for anxiety. I will never take these meds again. I would rather do yoga or meditation for my anxiety. Keep up the GREAT work Dr.
Please be sure to work with your health provider to safely taper off the clonazepam; it can be unsafe to suddenly stop benzodiazepines.
I'm glad this was helpful. Meditation and yoga can be very effective for anxiety. It can take time to rewire the brain and see significant effects, but it's very worthwhile in the long run. Good luck!
@@BetterHealthWhileAging Thank you for your concern. I have done so and believe it or not I was able to ween myself off the medication in one month with no side effects. I have shared your site with all my friends who are all approaching our sixties. Keep up the GREAT WORK DOC.
This information was so spot on!
My husband experienced gradually worsening symptoms of forgetfulness, moodiness and fuzzy reasoning skills over the course of a year. When he finally agreed to go to the doctor, it turned out he had extremely elevated levels of calcium in his blood. A gland in his parathyroid had gone bad. A simple surgery to remove the bad gland and he is back to his old self!
That's a great story. Primary hyperparathyroidism is usually found accidentally using the routine blood chemical screen tests. They were decried by old professors of medicine as shortcuts for the intellectual process of diagnosis. But I those professors missed these pts. more often than they would have liked to think. These simple, relatively inexpensive tests are boons to pts.
Make sure that he uses a good quality vitamin K2, probably in the form of MK7 or combined MK4 plus MK7.
This helps sending calcium to bones, instead of staying in the blood, or wreaking havoc to loudness, bladder, heart, arteries.
At last 100 micrograms per day, but here more is better, up to fat 800-1000 micrograms per day..❤
A very instructive content you supplied Dr! I am grateful to you.
I think you are a great doctor who really cares about her patients. All this information is extremely helpful, thank you.
Doctor, you are inherently a teacher, a perfect one! Thanks for your informative videos.
Well done,thanks for the comprehensive information.
Thank you for this information! I found it helpful and enlightening! I have subscribed 🙏❤️
Thank you for all the good information!!!. Thank YOU so much!! Please continue doing this good work.
Very articulate video Dr. Kemisan. Well done.
Thank you for this in-depth and thoughtful summary of all things that can affect memory in seniors.
Good,practical information,succinctly put.Thanks.
Outstanding report! I am 84 years old and still working full time. Thank you for your expertise and your generosity for sharing your knowledge!
Yes I can clearly see that my brain is not as quick as it used to be. I do have to concentrate a little more to remember a word or a name. I will check with my doctor to see if he is as smart as you are😊
I think there are real, cognitive benefits to working. A coworker who had a stroke quit working for a while. The decline was staggering when she returned to work, but the linger she works, the more she seems to recover herself. (Perhaps delerium, as we learned about here?) But I am concerned about retiring. Don't want to go brain dead.
I retired from full time work in 2002. I immediately got a part time job with much less stress. I retired from that after 11 years. I started volunteering in conservation work in 2005. I now volunteer for 4 similar organizations. I will be 80 in a few months.
@@janemack8852 You wont go brain dead, I promise you, something does cause it, but stress anxiety, fear are also the reason. As you work through these, your health and brain function normally again. I know because it all happened to me, I was just 19 years old at the time, and did not have a clue off the undulatory my husband was into.
Your videos and printed material are extraordinarily important! My law practice is limited to advising the elderly. My experience has been that many GPs know very little about cognitive impairment confronted by the elderly. It is often written off as "normal aging." Your information has had a profound affect on my approach to my clients. THANK YOU!
Michael Hatch
Thank you! I'm so glad to be helpful. Yes, many GPs are inadequately informed/trained for this common issue, so it's often necessary to advocate to get the right evaluation (or get a referral to neurology). As you may know, my book, "When Your Aging Parent Needs Help" is designed to help families successfully advocate if there are concerning cognitive symptoms. www.amazon.com/Aging-Parent-Needs-Step-Step/dp/173615320X
Thank you for working with older adults!
You are really a professional doctor to brief in detail cause and reminders must be follow up. Thanks and continue your sweet lecturing.
Thank you doctor for this video with exhaustive coverage of existential challenges faced by socially active /productive people in old age..
This is an EXCELLENT resource and Service to so many. THANK YOU!!
I really most appreciate well organized, well spoken presentation
Thank you Dr for such needful information for us seniors.
It is so important to review all this information before I have my first visit with a highly recommended primary physician as at age 89 no one has ever so succinctly discussed this with me. Thank you.
Excellent Information.
Thank You!
God Bless You Dr Leslie❤ helped caregivers and loved ones to approach elderlies easier
Thank you! Unbelievably spot on thank you so much You just helped a member of my family tremendously!
I just came upon your videos & am so grateful I did. Thanks for speaking to us as though we aren't 4 years old MD's. High quality presentations. High-yield information. Thanks doc!
Thank you. That was a well-informed.
Thank YOU so much!! Please continue doing this good work🙏🏽
I appreciate your kind words. Please share if you know others who would find this useful.
Excellent video; thanks for posting.
Your vids are really useful Thanks so much
Thank you for all the good information!!!
You are very welcome! Hope it is helpful.
I read a lot and I must say you very are very accurate. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you so much for your detailed advice!
Thank you for this great presentation. I have been dealing with memory issues for over five years and have been working with my PCP in an effort to diagnose and improve. Having a family history of vascular dementia has caused me to be very proactive about my own condition. So far, we are doing a lot of correct things, including CT and comprehensive neurological tests. Your presentation gave me a few more avenues to investigate as well as understanding recent changes that I have made that resulted in an improvement. I look forward to learning more from your channel.
You explain things very well. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your work in this field & not forgetting about the forgotten group
Great video!!! Very informative and, as always, well presented. Thank you so very much for all you do.
Thank you for watching, and for this kind feedback! So glad you found it helpful.
Your desire to provide helpful information, be thorough, pleasant and not offensive shines through as refreshing character traits. I hope you will continue to make videos to help the growing senior community. Thank you for this an the other videos and teaching tools. You are doing good!
Thank you for and for your videos. When my mom was alive and diagnosed with dementia, most of the doctors just did not care and just gave her more meds. We were lucky that when we had to move her a nursing home, there was a good doctor there. He slowly removed almost all the meds she was given. It was not needed. These doctors and doing such a disservice and it is so upsetting. They just overmedicate people and this is Canada. Thanks again!
Yes I learned that the hard way as well, although it was now a long time ago, I will for ever remember it as at the time I was in deep distress after myself finding out about my Husbands affair with a woman who live just a few doors away from me. I ended up having panic attacks, so I went to see local doctor and he put me on a Pill called activin, that did help, but after a after so many months, I decided to come off them, so I went to that local doctor and said I wanted to come off them, his reply was "You will need to take these for the rest of your life" I was gob smacked, and deeply shocked, I just got up walked out, and have never seen been to the local surgery ever since, I have now always looked after my own health and Gods love.
I think many doctors over medicate from laziness or from overwork. But then a lot of folk nowadays want instant fixes, and think that lots of pills to take, will do it. It probably confuses the body.
Informative talk thank you.
Good job Doc appreciate the information 😊
Beneficial information. Thank you.
I'm so glad you mentioned the myths associated with memory change in older adults! These can really get in the way of getting an assessment when it's needed. Thanks for this excellent, comprehensive review!
Thank you Dr. Didyk! I am venturing into RUclips in part because YOU and your excellent channel (www.thewrinkle.ca) have inspired me!
Memory loss were applied to an alcoholic people. When they reach the age of seventy .
i thought, so, but, my thoughts of constructive challanges can hurt people in the long run, too many confusing messages.
Thanks for informing me more.
Thanks 4 ur good info on memory loss in aging
All I can say is A BIG THANK YOU !
God bless you !
You're very welcome!
Great videos !
She is GREAT DOCTOR, very, very GOOD. Thank you for this VIDEO.
Very good a lot of information thank you Margaret from Irelaand
You are very detailed in your analysis. Wish you were myDr. Bless you.
Great information!
Thankyou for caring😊
Good info!
Your videos have been most helpful and have provided a lot of good information. There's just one little thing concerning usage of a phrase that I wanted to mention. You use the phrase "early Alzheimer's disease" at times when you're describing possible warning signs that to me, and maybe I'm wrong, need those extra descriptors such as "warning signs", etc. in the sentence to better separate the meaning from "early onset Alzheimer's" which I've also seen expressed as "early Alzheimer's". I was slightly confused at first since you're clearly not discussing early (onset) Alzheimer's but possible early signs of Alzheimer's/dementia. Thanks again for all the work you're putting into these videos and your site. I'm looking forward to learning more.
I’ve witnessed memory and personality changes in some senior friends after general anesthesia. It hasn’t completely resolved over time.
Okay, that is not good.
I had a friend who was a doctor who specialized in reading brain scans. He told me that each time a person had an anesthetic, a few brain cells died. He’d noted this over many years. When, at 75, he needed a hernia op, he chose a local anesthetic.
thanks great info from Amsterdam Holland.. I AM 82 YEARS SUCCESS GREAT WORK WELL NEEDED FOR ALL
You are Awesome, thank you
Thank you for explaining this and disspelling the common myths.
This is an excellent presentation. I would like to add sleep problems are very common causes of memory impairment in elderly either Insomnia or sleep apnea. Due to hearing problems the patient’s partner may not complains of snoring. Thank you for your efforts
The definitely do not need a sleeping pill rx. Try natural things like sleepy time tea . Otherwise, they will get cognitive decline rapid onset and no antidepressants are a sham. Only 2% of psychiatric rx ever cross the blood brain barrier. FYI. Fact. God bless❤
Thank you for this post....it gave me courrage...
My hubby is one of those. Thank you for the info.
One thing I discovered in retrospect was that I regressed in a way that could have indicated permanent mental decline but was a period following the death of my spouse. For a span of a year or so my children felt I was “losing it” memory-wise and psychologically. Over time this changed and my mental clarity improved to what others would call normal. I assume this had to do with both grief, remorse and the stress of a life altering situation.
I really know what youre going through
I went thru this for 16mo after my wife suddenly passed from a massive brain bleed, totally unforseen
@@rodclark4485 Even though we know others go through this it still doesn’t modify the impact of what each of us experiences personally and that must be especially true when the loss comes as a total unanticipated shock as in your case. My experience lasted less than 6 weeks from diagnosis to death and I felt I was racing along trying to keep up with little time for adjustment psychologically or even physically.
Depression and grief.
Yep. Totally relate. I was a “functioning” basket case for a year after my husband died in an accident. There are vultures out there who spot the telltale glaze in your eyes. Luckily, I made it through, back to the land of the sane with only moderate damage.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
very good! you and dr greger.
Most of not all of the possible causes do not apply to my wife of 84. She does not eat much to any Cerials, tuna or processed foods. Her drug input is next to none [blood pressure pill] She does not remember most every friend she has ever had except those that have been in contact in the last few months. She used to knitt every day and not does not know how. She repeats her self a lot and can not remember almost 5 minutes ago. She does not cook anymore or drive. I do everything now from cooking to laundry. She does do Suduko every day and does well with that. She is frustrated in that she does not do anything anymore. I give her tasks that she says she will do, but in a minute or two does not remember that I ask her to do anything. The pain of watching her decline damages me as well and my memory is also not all that good anymore.
I'm sorry your wife is having these symptoms. It is indeed very hard to watch someone decline cognitively, especially a spouse or other loved one. I hope she has been medically evaluated. I would recommend looking for a local support group.
If they don't apply, she may have dementia or Alzheimer's

Occasionally the name of a certain common object will escape me. For instance, today I was telling my wife I was going to transport something in the wheelbarrow. Except I couldn't remember the name (wheelbarrow). It could even be something as simple as remembering "pen" or "pencil".
Well, I'm glad I watched your video because you mentioned early on that Benadryl can cause cognitive issues. BOOM! I've been taking antihistamines and other cold meds for allergies lately. I really think that is my issue, because it's not an every day issue with me and hasn't progressed to anything else you mentioned.
Thank You!
Also, kudos for covering up the background in your video. It forces the viewer to focus on you and what you are saying as opposed to their mind drifting as they look at objects around your room.
Glad you found the video helpful! Yes, stopping medications such as Benadryl can help. Non-sedating antihistamines such as loratadine (brand name Claritin) affect brain function much less. Good luck!
@@BetterHealthWhileAging The history of Claritin and how it became approved after many years "on the shelf" is very interesting. It resulted in an investigation by the NYT.
Stay hydrated. Drinking water and keeping electrolytes in check is essential. Antihistamines dehydrate the body the brain must be hydrated to function. ❤
Thank you ❤
Was “grief” on your list? Can’t remember. If not, I think it’s definitely worth adding. Blessings to you!
Grief is another good point; it would generally fall under the category of psychiatric issues.
It really hit my 81 year old Mom hard after taking care of my dad with his 3rd bout of cancer and his death at 87.
She could not remember his funeral.
Isolation and loneliness also. Great post
@lindaanderson1016 bless her. D4's want to give a pill for every ill. People have feelings grief-stricken process, and need not be labeled as a psychological problem
This is soooo absolutely helpful. I am nearly 80 and am going to the geriatric clinic for my yearly appointment. Last year was the first. My son has helped me get together all the papers required which I could have done but my Hebrew is not good enough and I live in Israel. My biggest concern is that seeing that my mom died at 102 from Parkinson’s that might happen to me as well. But otherwise I am TG reasonably healthy I have had a TIA with a bad fall on my head but I do not see any long lasting bad effects. I do walk with a stick. 🥰
Dr. It’s really a good information. Very ver good and very informational Vedio.

Myths about memory loss
I can definitely know what is causing my memory loss; depression and substance abuse. I need help.
What about sleep apnea or other sleep disorders? Aren’t these common big causes of memory issues? Glad you’re on RUclips now!
That's a good point, potentially worth adding to the list (along with chronic stress, which can also be associated with poor sleep). I have an article covering sleep issues in aging here: betterhealthwhileaging.net/top-5-causes-sleep-problems-in-aging-and-proven-insomnia-treatments/
When I first wrote the 10 causes of cognitive impairment article, I did it because I was frustrated by how often older adults would get an inadequate initial evaluation for memory loss, and I focused on the most common memory loss causes that geriatricians would check before concluding it might be Alzheimer's, particularly in people who are age 80+.
Sleep issues are tricky in that they are often related to damage to brain neurons (so there can be a chicken-and-egg issue when it comes to neurodegenerative conditions), and also doctors tend to want to treat them by prescribing sleeping pills. But you are right that lack of sleep will affect memory and thinking function.
@@BetterHealthWhileAging Thank you for considering my suggestion.
I appreciate you. My mom (80+) said recently that her doctors never physically examine her; they don’t touch her. I wish she could have you as her doctor.
@@BetterHealthWhileAging I've got chronic poor sleep quality, depression & ADHD- I need more dopamine, that's for sure. My doctor shouldn't have prescribed Paxil, since I now know it's anti-cholinergic. My memory thus worsened. Would Donepezil potentially be indicated here? And maybe tyrosine supplements to increase L-Dopa?
@@BetterHealthWhileAging Hello, thank you for this. How might I find out if my brain neurons are damaged?
@@BetterHealthWhileAging - you are SO right about brain damage causing insomnia. I have neuro-lyme with major insomnia and almost no short term memory.
So happy I found your channel. I am by no means elderly only in my 50s. But I did have 2 brain surgeries due to an aneurysm and suffered for years with migraines. My husband who is a cardiologist put me on amitriptyline I just recently learned from you that it can also cause memory loss. I notice when a family member of ours who is elderly with memory loss he had the same common thought that this is due to aging and he’s a doctor. Thanks so much for sharing. I’m now a new sub.
Dr. Thanks for this video ! Every family will likely have this problem.
When I was in Florida, I heard Dr.Hammesphar (neurologist) on the radio speaking about reversing stroke by putting stroke victims into a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. He got the idea when he obtained access to the US Navy medical records of divers, before and after the divers were switched from air decompression to pure oxygen decompression. The effect of the oxygen on health of the divers was striking, going way beyond decompression.
Either physicians are not taught that this is a most helpful treatment, or they are instructed that insurance refuses to cover the cost of it, so they are discouraged from using it.
Hyperbaric could save the limbs of thousands of diabetics. Can heal wounds,
It can heal the stroke victim, especially if right away
It can get oxygen to the brain of someone lacking it.
I believe there's one in every locker room of the NFL ~ they use it to heal faster from injuries and get back on the field.
I had a fiend in his 80s who had open heart surgery. He totally lost his short-term memory. He couldn't, for example, drive because he could not remember where he was going.
That's very interesting. I hope he sees, possibly among others, a good cardiologist.
One unmentioned area is when people sleep their pulse goes down which slows the blood to their heart and that blood is the same as water which is why when people wake up they have bad breath and my recommendation is To put a tube in a person's nose which attaches to the roof of their mouth and sprays water every 30 minutes so the heart is getting enough water . I also think if it periodically sprayed lemon and or mint that the heart will produce water of its own. I believe the tube in nose should be worn awake and asleep so the heart is always getting enough water
Change in hormones, namely going through menopause definitely caused memory problems for me.
What helped was HRT.
Glad to hear that, but what does HRT mean?
@@jennygoddard6875 Hormone Replacement Therapy. My gynecologist originally wanted me to take Premarin but I did not want to take that. I found an NP online who prescribed Estradiol patches along with Progesterone pills to take at night. And it has made such a huge improvement in my life.
It means hormone replacement therapy😉
I know that’s part of my problem, but because i’ve had breast cancer, I’m not allowed to have HRT - and it wasn’t hormone related cancer.😕
If the person with memory issues is diabetic start there! It’s known that diabetes affects memory. The first thing is changing their diet. I totally changed my diet to high protein low carb diet and yes it made a difference. I also eat when I am hungry not forcing myself to wait till the next mealtime. I only weigh 100 lbs despite eating often but I am on a low glycemic diet to support my “diabetic” blood sugar. It’s a tough balancing act being diabetic and low glycemic and I have a true gluten allergy so I can’t eat any grains including gluten free oats because it raises my blood sugar too high! I can only eat certain fruits like berries too! But it’s worth the effort. I am getting better and my memory is getting better! You can change your memory by nipping away at “all” the changes our body goes through with the aging process! It’s worth the effort because you deserve to be your best!
YES.. BLOOD SUGAR ISSUES !!
Major problem..
Stay away from ALL junk food..
Do eat Lots of vegetables and protein..
Lots of water between meals.
Get fresh air. Do deep breathing exercises
As a pharmacist i gave Ginko biloba to my mom for 6 months now she reminds me everything.
Good information,i have frontal lobe infarction.
Dr. said it can be many factors that can agravate my stroke.iam 67 female and still working 8 to 10 hrs a day,it can be stress and not enough rest.this is my 2nd stroke and currently under investigation.
Hearing this to some people can stress people out more, so, all these medical problems people can , get, can give people negative thoughts that can be hurting peples minds and make them psycho or even suicidal.

Get a massage, listen to soft classical music, and have a bed time routine with possible real essential oil therapy such as lavender drops mixed in carrier oil on pulse points and temples even rubbing it between palms or bottom of the feet before winding down to sleep can greatly enhance sleep. Bless you. ❤
All your points are good and there are other points from quantum physics, energy and spiritual perspectives, for example: it was pointed out that when person get older, they often get more intuitive which is like being 60 feet or higher airplane level height so when someone ask a person a specific question and the older person is in an airplane, they will not be able to answer right away, they have to land on land first to communicate. Also another perspective is when God want to give hint that it’s time for the senior to prepare to go to Heaven, God or universe will withdraw hearing or sight or sone hints as a gentle reminder to better prepare to wrap up this life journey. There is no death but there is a good time to take a heavenly sabbatical. Doctor should not be limited only to the diseases medical paradigm. That is toxic to happiness perfectly fine ageless persons. It is tragic that ageless Spirits are discriminated by limited paradigms of those around then.

My Sister has Dementia/etc 34:09 but has a very poor diet because she has a very poor appetite and doesn’t enjoy cooking. She can have a very full meal if she is out or is presented with it by somebody else having cooked it. This attitude has been with her since childhood as I remember feeling very put upon as I had to eat all my meal while she got away with it. I am concearned this could be part of her problem.
My hubby is 68 and has been smoking pot on a daily basis since his teen years. He doesn’t believe there’s any harm but of course he forgets things I tell him because he was high when I told him and he’s high every day, most of the day
Needs DEEP BREATHING exercises BEFORE smoking..
More water.. More exercise..
Vegetables and good protein.
Avoid all junk food.
Eat fruit as a desert
Does dehydration play a role?
I'm surprised that when it comes to vitamins, you don't concern yourself with vit D. Of course, I live in this UK & it's considered almost everyone is deficient in Vit D. Maybe it's different where you are. But, when you consider what this deficiency can cause, you realise the unhappiness and low mood it can bring on. Dealing with this deficiency eliminates a cause of low mood, not to mention putting things right which are overlooked. There's no need to comment on this. I realise time is valuable and I enjoy your presentations.
Yes I take Vitamin D every day along with Vit C, for many years now, and have never caught flue or a cold in so many years eithers! What does that tell us, I also only buy and eat organic vegetables because they are not sprayed with Pesticides like all the other vegetables are, It costs a little more, but so worth it health wise. We are not plants or animals but humans.

Delirium ?? This sounds like my dad. He has two operations ; prostate 2015 and hernia 2017 at 92 !
I went to the doctors today and did well on the memory test but am worried about it still.
Thanks
I think this talk proves that memory loss it is normal as we age. All the “other” conditions that cause memory loss are normal to have (some of the,) as we age, therefore memory loss will appear as a consequence in older age.
Hi..gud day doctor ..tyvm for your lecture..i want to ask if citichloline can boost memory and is there any medication that can help prevent or delay dementia..again tyvm
Vitamin C is a must for brain and body health< I take it every day and have for years, I am now 73 years old, and have no problem with memory issues, I even remember things and can see them in my eyes from Issues 50 years ago.
It occurred to me during this video a concern about "clock drawing." In the digital age at what point do health care providers consider this task irrelevant?
We will definitely have to reconsider in a few decades! I'm in my late 40s and I think everyone of my school generation would be familiar with a clock. But not my kids.
When time ends.
It is accepted that age-related memory loss is a typical aspect of aging. It is not indicative of dementia. These are not symptoms of dementia, even if you could occasionally have trouble remembering things, like my dad at silvergaterr, like where you put your keys, a website password, or the name of a former classmate.

Then please change your diet, because that may be part of the problem, what we eat impacts on our stomach and brain!
I am 72 & requested baseline evaluations earlier this year both parents had dementia & one passed with Alzheimers and passed away 18yrs. prior to the other.spouse. Wanted to rule out several things whether it is a vitamin deficiancy, stress, possible genetics, living conditions. IMHO I believe everybody should be fully tested by age 75 . Personally I do not believe aging memory loss is not "normal". A lot has to do with activity levels both social & physical, diet & enviorment + "attitude"
